the leopard Nana chair

Catching up on Google Reader this morning, I enjoyed Tina's (author of The Enchanted Home) post about adding a little leopard print to your rooms. Yay, for once I am trendy and chic! I have some leopard. Mine is on my pretty Nana chair. It sits in the living room/ husband sports television room most of the time. But the little chair moves around as needed when there are more people in the house. It usually moves to the family room.

The little tray table I chalk painted recently is perfect next to it. It can go on either side of the room.

It used to sit in my Nana's beautiful guest bedroom. It had an elegant coral damask on it that coordinated with her floral draperies and monogrammed bedspreads. I was so happy to inherit the little chair as I loved sleeping in that bedroom growing up. I wish I had a picture of that room but my memory of it is quite vivid.

What about you? Do you have a little leopard in your house?

A metal beam supports a section of chairs to complete a modern, durable, and affordable look that really pops. Beam seating manufacturers like OFM, Inc. offer a variety of collections for both indoor and outdoor use and allow for custom configurations and modularity.

The third style of waiting room seating is sectional furniture. This style includes a variety of sofas, lounge chairs, love seats, and modular seating commonly used to provide a homey look. Often, this type of seating is seen in healthcare environments as a variety of antimicrobial upholstery options are typically available.

Defining Ergonomic Office Chair Features Will Save You Money

Before spending hard earned money, it's important to know the value of what you will be getting in return. When it comes to ergonomic office chairs, it's no different. In today's post we will cover several popular ergonomic chair features and define the purpose. How will this save you money? Quite frankly, most office chairs today offer a few necessary ergonomic features that are a must. Others offer bells and whistles that might not be necessary for you to spend money on. We recommend that you take the time to define the ergonomic features you feel are right for you and purchase your next office chair accordingly. Additionally, saving money on ergonomic features you don't need allows you to allocate funds to other areas!

Tension Adjustment: Increase or decrease chair tension to allow your body to rock comfortably without heavy pushing. This feature helps to reduce muscle fatigue.

Chair Tilt Lock: This features allows users the ability to lock their seat to accommodate individual position preferences. There are two types of chair tilt lock. These are single and infinite. Infinite allows you to lock the chair at any angle you choose.

Seat Height: This features has become a standard on most office chairs. As simple as it sounds, it really is an important ergonomic attribute to add to your office chair. Adjusting the seat height of a chair to meet your needs will take pressure off your thighs, which will subsequently ease blood flow.

Arm Height: Another common feature that should not be over looked. I personally would not purchase a chair that did not offer arm height adjustment. This valuable feature allows operators to reduce the muscular effort in the neck and shoulders, therefore minimizing the risk of pain.

Contoured Seat Cushions: Contoured cushions support the body effectively. They allow users to sit for longer periods comfortably. Thus increasing your productivity.

Width Adjustable Arms: This feature allows outward movement of armrests to match shoulder breadth. This ensures that armrests properly support your forearms, thus reducing muscular effort in the neck and shoulders.

Synchro Tilt Movement: Allows the backrest to reline at a faster rate than the seat which increases the angle between your torso and thighs. This ergo features enhances comfort and encourages dynamic body movement.

Waterfall Seat Edge: Reduces pressure at the back of the knee and improves blood flow.

These are just a few of the more common ergonomic chair features. Overall, it is important to understand the individual benefits of having each. In today's market, chairs can be seen with features from back adjustment to solar powered toaster ovens (that's a joke). In the long run, doing your homework on the front end can definitely save you money, while increasing your day to day efficiency in the workplace.

This focus has been ignored for a long time, to reflourish again and booming into an interesting market. But we see less and less ordinary pieces. Instead we see new shapes, different materials,lego system pieces a wide variaition of forms and colors which made our garden or patios looking like a big contemporary painting. Sometimes beautiful pieces, with such a high design which puts comfort standards on second place. But the real purpose here is to shock, to inspire and to entertain.
