A couple years ago, when former Google Inc. executive Marissa Mayer took over as CEO of Yahoo! Inc., there was much to be said about a change of culture that Mayer was going to bring to Yahoo! in hopes of improving the company's sagging fortunes.

Before we get into office furniture and ergonomics, why don't you take a seat? How's that chair working for you? Feel alright for a few minutes? What about if you were one to sit in that chair for three, four, six, eight hours in a day? Would it still feel comfortable? And if you do [...]
Let's face it, not many of us think very much about chairs. Unless, of course, we are the office procurement official who signs off on all the latest furniture purchases. But for the most part, chairs are just pieces of furniture that we seem to take for granted. If there is a desk, we just [...]
