Great hub. Often we don't pay attention to our chairs, tables etc., when bashing away on a keyboard despite the high risk of repetitive stress injury. Hubs like this remind us how to take care of ourselves and do something about it before we get a painful injury. Thanks for the great information.

I like this hub as I have been thinking might need a new desk chair. The one I have is well made but starting to show some wear.
