The Best Task Chairs for Office or Home
VDT’s Interiors team shares their top picks for office chairs
Task chairs. You go to the office, you sit, you go home. Oh wait…now you roll right out of bed and onto your laptop—likely on the sofa, or kitchen counter, or bed. We’ll spare you the lecture on posture and work efficiency, as we have no doubt your aching back can do the talking.
The VDT Interiors Team has pulled together our Top Ten “Best Of” Task Chairs for both your home and the office (once we go back). Now that we all know the magical glory of a good task chair, or lack thereof, VDT wants to help guide you to the right task chair for you, your home, or your company.
