About the ‘Chair’man

Hello my name is Chris Boshoff and I am the self elected “Chairman” of this website.

First of all.

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to browse my website.

I hope you find the information of value and also the product you are looking for.

But before I tell you a bit more about myself let me tell you why I chose to create a website about ergonomic chairs. What can you expect to find here and how can it benefit you?

How my interest in ergonomic chairs started

About a decade ago I visited one of my clients. As I walked in I couldn’t help but notice that one of the company directors, a gentleman by the name of Jack, was sitting on a very fancy looking chair.
Now Jack was (and still is) a man who is known for his flashy ways. In fact, with the exception of his wife, I haven’t seen many who can outdo him in this regard.
I therefore didn’t pay too much attention when Jack started telling me about the numerous benefits of his latest purchase.

After another visit or two, and listening to Jack talk about his chair a fair bit more, I eventually decided to give the chair a try.

And I have to admit – Jack was right.

Much rather would I be sitting for ten to twelve hours a day in one of these babies, than anything I have sat in before. Well, maybe with the exception of the Lazyboy (my dad’s) I sat in as a kid.

That’s what planted the seed for my interest in Ergonomic chairs. Good old Jack and his flashy ways.

A little bit about myself.

I am an accountant and have an Accounting Practice in Cape Town, South Africa.

As an Accountant I have spent my fair share of time in chairs. Too much in fact. But truth be told I enjoy researching, testing and talking about chairs way more than accounting. I have spend countless (and still do) hours of my time testing, researching and reading about chairs, ergonomics and bad backs.

I further enjoy fishing in my spare time – especially fishing for the larger species like Sharks. With the exception of keeping an edible for the pot once in a while, I release all fish.

Besides working and fishing I believe in staying fit (especially with my sedentary job) and visit the gym three times a week. I find a bit of weight training a good tonic when I have spent too much time in front of the computer.

What you can expect to find on this site

On this site I want to give my honest review about ergonomic chairs. I also want to inform you whenever I find chairs that are sold at good prices. When I read that a person speak highly of any chair, I will do my research and let you know whether it is a chair to consider or not.

I cannot tell you what chair to buy, where to buy it, or even to buy an ergonomic chair.

But I can tell you this.

A good ergonomic chair can (and does) make a big difference when it comes to lower back, neck and butt pain.
