    Am I correct in thinking an office chair has to be ergonomic and adjust in two places?
    Weve just got mad cheap pleather chairs that swivel and recline. Having some back issues and wondering what fight I'll get to spend more than 25 Euro on a chair !

    The law:

    "Work chair
    (i) The work chair shall be stable and allow the user easy freedom of movement and a comfortable position.
    (ii) The seat shall be adjustable in height.
    (iii) The seat back shall be adjustable in both height and tilt.
    (iv) A footrest shall be made available to any user who requires one."

    Just curious, what's the source of the above quote?
