As an owner of my own small business, I know the value of being comfortable while I work at my desk.  Comfortable people are productive people, and your employees will be no exception to the rule.  And if you are working around chairs that are a hundred years old, it may be time to let them go in favor of new seating arrangements.  Take a look into new office chairs and you will not only delight your staff but will likely get more out of each individual who works for you.

Luxury Swivel Chairs
These can run from a hundred to a thousand dollars, and vary greatly in between the different styles.  It is unlikely that the CEO of your company will want to sit in a tiny chair that was purchased at Staples, but you can find some pretty nice chairs just shopping around online.  I got my really nice chair (as I sit her typing, it is extremely comfortable) at Costco of all places, and I liked it so much I bought one for all of my office staff.  They were ninety dollars, and they really are nice, leather, luxury office chairs.  The bottom line is luxury office chairs aren’t just for super important people, and you can get a really great one for an a amazing price, and I think you will see better productivity in anyone who is using a more comfortable office chair in the workplace.

Cheap Swivel Chairs
The cheapest place to buy an swivel chair in my opinion has got to be a furniture liquidation store.  I am not a fan of this route though, unless you need a ton of chairs for cheap.  They are always used, mostly in poor condition, and are not comfortable to sit in for any great amount of time.  I don’t know about anyone else, but I cannot concentrate on my work when I hurt, and I don’t think I am alone in that situation.   Ikea is a pretty good spot to get new office chairs on the cheaper side of things, and I think this is a better idea than buying at a liquidator.  Plus they won’t smell like anything weird, which is not a guarantee if you buy from a liquidator where the products will be sold as is where is, and that isn’t my idea of a great deal.
