I’m lucky enough to have an adjustable VariDesk which enables me to STAND or sit, with a flick of a lever and is a total boon to anyone desk bound for much of the day as I am. It saves that wretched neck and back ache which quite frankly made little Miss Sunshine pass under a cloud, not that my family call me anything approaching anything sunny – far from it.
I work not only as a contributor to Frost Magazine, but also an author and am heavily involved with a charity, www.wordsforthewounded.co.uk and therefore I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time sitting as well as standing at my, desk and my fitness is suffering, not to mention my rear end, and my legs. A seat that adjust to match the Varidesk would be my dream, or so I was thinking as I put the WforW LitFest to bed for another year, and embarked on the second in the series of The Waterway Girls for Arrow.
In the nick of time I’ve been sent a Varichair to test drive. Honestly, it’s a complete boon.
It solves all my problems, so no more clouds in my life.
Designed to engage leg, back and core muscles, the VARIChair really does give me the freedom to move throughout my day, letting me stay active while seated or leaning. As I have recently broken my shoulder, my exercise is anyway reduced so it really is brilliant. The durable, cushioned seat and articulating pedestal offer a wide range of motion, so you can rock or stretch while sitting. The air-lift piston also raises the seat up to 32.75” (83.19 cm), allowing you to lean comfortably when standing.
Featuring a low back design that encourages good posture, it also has a weighted base, so it stays put while you do the moving. Like other VARIDESK products, the VARIChair comes fully assembled. Simply remove it from the box and you’re ready to go.
I can’t bear having things I have to put together, because it takes ages and never quite fits together.
A really good buy. Use it, get fit while you work. You’ll find you don’t actually NEED that beer or wine at the end of the day but you’ll still have it, of course you will.
The Varichair at £250 is worth every penny, as is the Pro Plus 36 Varidesk at £365.
