The old picture of playwrights and Scrooge hunched over office furniture is a grim one. They managed to produce incredible documents and works in those office circumstances, but the fact remains that they had separate spaces and designated desks or tables and chairs on which to do their work. A like image from days of old that address the family dinner hour and games does not lend itself to a productive environment.

An ultimate work space is one that sees no distraction and has specific features that would apply only to producing great things. Home offices have sprung up all over the world and advertisements for home business talk about making money on your kitchen table. Bad idea. A good set of desk and chair can mean the difference between success and failure of a business. That may sound a bit incredible, but consider that document you spent 3 days perfecting and your darling 2 year old has a milk spill accident. Will you miss the important deadline now because you must recreate your work?

The home office idea was created as a sort of self defense from this type occurrence. Perhaps the office down the street is for rent and you can work there. In any case, the furniture you use should definitely be separate from that which is used for the joyous gathering of family and friends. One setting for work. One setting for play and family.

After Plato spent hours at his desk, he walked about the village to obtain his provisions, or performed household chores all done by hand. We don't do much by hand anymore and it's rare that we walk anywhere except on purpose for occasional exercise.

The need for ergonomically correct furniture while we spend hours chained to our computers is paramount to the prevention of recently developed ills. Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of those newly found joint and tendon afflictions that occur when we use old style equipment. The newer designs avoid those particular motions and give us a more natural position in which to work.

A wonderful chair that can be used for several hours without creating an instant backache is more of a blessing than you know. If you have never tried an ergonomic office chair, go to the office furniture store and sit in one. The difference is incredible. Long hours spent hunched over and in an uncomfortable seating position will cause a good deal of trouble.

Historical furniture is quite ornate and very beautiful, but is not practical for your real day's work. The antique desk and chair were not designed to be used 12 hours per day, and if they were, the users were able to stretch themselves out over the mile's walk home.

The designs of office furniture today are directly in line with the necessities of today's work force. Long hours spent in the office setting, whether in the home office or a business office, can be comfortable, lending itself to productive days.
