Why does InHouse emphasize ergonomics in its design work?
In order to promote a “healthy” relationship between our furniture and our clients, we consider ergonomics in all our designs. We want to ensure that our furniture works with your body and not against it. For instance, we strongly recommend articulating keyboard trays under desk surfaces. These trays are not only height adjustable but tilt as well to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. We also look at your height to ascertain whether a “standard” (29″ or 30″ high) desk height would be appropriate for your needs and alter the dimensions accordingly. As for peripherals (faxes, printers etc.) we try to place them for easy user access to ensure that you do not have to strain/stretch unnaturally to utilize any machine. We also stress the importance of purchasing an ergonomic office chair to accompany our desk systems. A chair should provide appropriate lumbar support as well as height and tilt adjustability. With such ergonomic considerations, the overall health of our Clients is maximized over
