3 Features of an Office Chair for Long Sitting

Sitting for a long time can hurt your productivity and general health. Doesn’t matter whether you’re in a busy office or a quiet home office. An office chair for long sitting is what you need.

So, here are the 3 features of your perfect office chair :

I. Adequate Lumbar Support
II. Adjustable Features
III. Cushioning

Now these are the 3 things you should be looking for when you start to scout for office chairs along with your other office furniture

Let me detail these.

I. Adequate Lumbar Support

When you sit for a long time, the vertebrae in your lower back (called lumbar vertebrae) are more likely to get twisted and hurt.

Features of Lumbar Support You should be looking:

Height and Depth Adjustability

An important feature for lumbar support is the ability to adjust both the height and depth of the support mechanism or pad.

This lets you modify the chair’s lumbar support according to your height and choice. This helps proper alignment and would reduce strain on your lower back.

High-Density Foam Padding

Make sure that this padding is made of high-density foam. The foam should be strong and flexible. The foam should not weaken or change its shape when used every day.

This type of padding ensures smooth weight distribution. It also lessens pressure points and adds comfort. A must for an office chair for long sitting.

Adjustable Lumbar Support Pad

This movable lumbar support pad can be adjusted up and down. This lets you put the pad on a level where you’d feel your lower back is most relaxed. The pad should have some firmness and a bit flexible.

You should check the size of the pad and whether it matches the natural curve of your spine. Some would argue that this is not needed as a soft pillow, or some light pads would serve just the same.

But if you look at it, these pillows and light pads which you can easily buy online, don’t stay firm supporting your back.

They could simply slide down. And what happens is that you could end up pulling it up every now and then.

Inflatable Lumbar Support

Some chairs have an inflatable cushion that allows users to adjust the level of lumbar support. I’ve seen one offered as a back care solution.

This works by inflating or deflating the cushion. You can find what level of comfort and support you would want for your lower back.

II. Adjustable Features

Adjustable Seat Height

If the chair has this feature, the height of the seat can be raised or lowered easily. The seat height of a standard office chair may play from 16 to 21 inches. This is equivalent to 40-53 centimeters.

But some people, when seated, would like their knees to be a little higher than their hips.

Yes, studies have shown that this is the most relaxing way to take a break while seated. There’s an article about that at webmd.

And yes, I also personally experienced that. I feel more comfortable when knees are a bit higher than the hips.

Well, whatever.

Usually, a handle under the seat is used to change the height. This holder will make it sure that you can put your feet flat on the floor. This helps you sit up straight and takes pressure off your legs and lower back.

Seat Sliders

This feature gives your legs the best support possible and keeps a small space between the edge of the seat and the back of your knees.

Seat sliders gives your seat a horizontal movement. To do this, just pull it out and push it back in. If you move the seat too far out, it could hit you in the back of the knees.

From what I’ve seen, two to three inches from the back of your knees would be just right. These sliders let you change the depth of the seat to fit different leg lengths.

Adjustable Armrest

Adjustable armrests give good arm and shoulder support. Move the armrest by changing the height and horizontal distance. Also, you can easily change how far apart the left and right armrests are.

You can also change the angle of the armrests to fit how you work. When your arms and hands are in a horizontal position, it would be easier for you to type and use the computer table. Your arms and shoulders will feel less tight.

Tilt Mechanism

Many types of tilt mechanisms are available today. There is this what they call the Synchronized Tilt Mechanism.

This type lets the chair and seat move separately from each other. The way this thingy works is that as you lean back, the backrest and seat move together to keep your position the same.

There’s the Single-Point Tilt System, which I would not suggest. The tilt mechanisms on these chairs are tilted simply. If you lean back, they may press on your legs, making you feel uncomfortable.

Knee-Tilt Mechanism. With this design, you can lean back further and keep your feet flat. This helps when you have to lean back more but still need your feet to be supported.

Forward Glide Tilt Mechanism. The seat pan tilts down as the backrest leans back. Well, a seat pan is the flat surface area of the chair you sit on.

With this type of mechanism. You can move your weight forward, use you core muscles, and sit up straight. This is very helpful especially for people with lower back pain.

Most of the high-end executive office chairs have these tilt mechanisms.

Adjustable Headrest Height

Very helpful when you lean back and let your neck rest. When you change its height and angle, it lets you get the right support for your neck and head.

This is adjustable so you can move it, adjust it, to make sure that it fits the natural curve of your neck. This reduces pressure in your neck and makes longer sitting even more comfortable.

III. Cushioning

Seat Cushion

The seat cushion ensures even distribution of pressure in your body. Go for a cushion manufactured from high-quality foam or a combination of firm and soft padding. This type of cushion provides a solid support for your buttocks and legs.

Foam Density

The foam density used in seat cushions determines its firmness and longevity. Higher density foam is strong and maintains its shape over time, providing robust support.

On the other hand, low-density foam will give you a softer feel but may wear out faster. The choice of foam density depends on your desired level of comfort and personal preference. Try it personally. You may visit the store and ask for a demonstration of an office chair for long sitting.

Shaped Seat Cushion

Some office chairs feature shaped seat cushions. These cushions are tailored to conform to the natural contours of your body. Shaped seat cushions ease pressure on the hips, distributing your weight evenly.

Backrest Cushion

This gives your upper back and shoulders support. Choose a thick cushion with the right shape to give your lower back enough backing and keep your spine in the right position. Cushions can be made of foam or padding.

Lumbar Cushion

In some cases, you may purchase an additional lumbar cushion for your office chair. This cushion offers additional support to the lower back. It can be moved and modified to enhance comfort.

Fabric or Upholstery

The comfort and durability of your chair’s cushions are affected by the fabric or upholstery. Pick mesh or fabric that helps to move sweat or moisture away from the skin. This keeps the body cool and dry.

This kind of fabric is made with special synthetic fibers that can absorb and move moisture to the fabric’s surface, where it can evaporate more easily. This is not the usual fabric you might have seen in office cubicles.

On the other hand, you might think about leather or faux leather upholstery if you want a luxurious, long-lasting choice that looks good and is comfortable.

These 3 features mentioned above should serve as a guide when you are looking for chairs that could give you extreme comfort even when working for long hours. Ergonomically designed office chairs almost always have these properties. While they may be a bit pricey, but hey, how about a visit to a doctor who specializes in lumbar and disc issues?

Cost and Size Guide – Office Cubicles in the Philippines

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of enquiries that have been made concerning the supply and installation of office cubicles. The majority of the enquiries are focused on the cost, the dimensions of the cubicles, the many types, designs, and colors available, as well as the heights and colors of the cubicles.

These will be addressed here. Let’s talk about the first two. The cost as well as the size.

How much does a cubicle cost?

Price could range from 10,000 PHP to 18,000 PHP. This is the ballpark figure for the cluster type of cubicles here in the Philippines.This is only a rough approximation as pricing may fluctuate greatly depending on a variety of factors.

The size of the cubicle is the primary consideration that goes into determining the cost of the unit. The 10,000 PHP cubicle is typically of the full fabric type with a 6 cm panel thickness.

There is a possible range of 105 cm to 135 cm for the height. The length of the table is 120 cm, and the width is 60 cm.

The next typical dimension for a cubicle is 60 cm by 150 cm, and the panel height is 120 cm. After that, the cost adjusts itself whenever the height goes above 120 cm.

A cubicle of this size (60 cm X 150 cm) may cost anywhere from 14,000 PHP to 20,000 PHP.

The cost would be significantly different after the addition of new features, changing the fabric from one tone to a two-tone color scheme.

Installing glass panels, changing to laminates are some of the improvement that would increase the cost.

There are also a few other aspects to consider.

If you prefer laminates for the panels, there will be an approximate 10% price increase for that option.

The combination of full fabric panels with glass or laminated panels with glass may result in an additional 20% price increase.

Even full fabric panels have a variety of colors woven into them. A panel made of fabric with two different colors would be more expensive. In addition to it, there is a combination of two-tone full fabric and glass.

Adding hanging cabinets and grommet holes (for the cables that jolt out from under the table onto your tabletop) are two examples of more expensive options.

Installation of networking cables and electrical wires is a further factor that could substantially increase the price of the cubicles.

Most of the time, however, clients already have their own team of networking specialists and electricians who will handle the power and data cabling.

Because this is a completely separate area of expertise, most suppliers and installers of cubicles prefer to outsource it to other vendors and contractors.

It is also important to point out that the pricing may change based on the location of the customer, which can also be rather variable.

In our case, we have clients outside Metro Manila. We have supplied and installed government offices in Northern and Central Luzon, as well as in Zamboanga, Davao, and Leyte.

We have also supplied and installed office furniture and cubicles at a mining company in Palawan. These are some of the remote areas in the Philippines which we have delivered office cubicles, chairs, and other furniture.

The price of the furniture could rise up depending on the location as you would add fees for shipping and hauling. Project staff are also dispatched to complete the installations.

How big should a cubicle be?

We can only speak on the projects we have completed. In most cases, the clients have their own designers and architects who are responsible for making the layouts of the office spaces and who may be well aware of the Building Code of the Philippines.

In most cases, the designers will verify that this is the standard size or that the building managers have given their approval to the office layout.

Office density is the quick indicator. This refers to the number of people working in a given area per square meter.

Based on the configurations of our earlier installations, 3.5 to 4.0 square meters per person would already be comfortably spacious.

This density makes it possible to contain clusters of cubicles, as well as a visitors’ area, conference room, and reception area. This would already include vertical and horizontal cabinets, xerox machines, a little pantry and sofa for the visitors.

However, things are played out very differently when it comes to offices of large multinational corporations.

Much of the floor space is taken up by open areas and huge meeting rooms with glass partitions.

Lounges that house expensive comfy sofas that seats many guests are very common.

And their office density could run from 6 to 8 square meters per person.

Now, how big should a cubicle be?

The inside dimensions of a closed cubicle are 180 cm x 180 cm. The typical height is approximately 180 cm. Just enough to avoid being observed by passers-by.

For those in the clusters, meaning those cubicles that are grouped together in 10’s or 20’s, the size of the cubicles could be from 60 cm x 100 cm or 60 cm X 120 cm.

The height would be 120 cm, an eye level elevation if one is seated. Others who would like an increase in their level of privacy would suggest moving it up to 135 or 150 cm.

There are several businesses whom we did business with that required their tabletops to hold two computer monitors. We suggested that the dimensions of their cubicles be 70 cm by 150 cm. This is more than enough to accommodate two 24-inch computer monitors.

Others who have online tutorial lessons would have soundproof cubicles, and their cubicle space would be nearly completely enclosed.

We hung panels that were equipped with soundproofing. The height of the panel was 180 cm.

Overall, the size of the cubicle would largely be dictated by the nature of business of the companies first, then the productivity, the health and well-being of the staff.

But then, most of the time the company has already taken hold or already has negotiated with an office space first. That is the floor area has already been fixed.

And that’s where they start. From there, they would ask if 70 or 100 persons can be accommodated in this area or that area.

And that’s it. The size of a cubicle depends on the nature of the business and the well-being of the staff and a density not lower than 3.5 square meters per person.

Revamp Your Office Cubicle: Tips for Color, Personality, and Productivity

Alright! We’ve been talking a lot about office cubicles. About the perfect size, the components, arrangements, the make, and a lot more.

This time we’ll discuss decorating your office cubicle.

Okay, your office cubicle is your home for 8 or 10 hours a day; why not give it a facelift?

If you’re interested, I have some advice to give your temporary abode a makeover:

Add Color

No, not painting or slashing the fabric out of the partition panels and changing the fabric.

It’s just simply adding some color to boost your mood and creativity.

There are many ways to do this and blend color into your office cubicle.

How about post-it notes? They’re so colorful. These little paper notes come in various colors. Pick colors that speak to you.

You could also choose colors that correspond to your categories or priorities.

You could assign different projects to each color. This would keep you from scrambling pieces of paper looking for that specific project.

In addition to the colorful notes, other accessories on the desk or the tabletop can also add color and personality.

Pens, colorful markers, paperclips, and staplers are some of the mixes that could do this.

If you want to be more creative, canvas art and posters would be great. Posters of your interest like quotes from Oprah Winfrey (if you’re a fan, yeh).

Michael Jordan if you’re a Bulls fan, and yes, a John 3:16 poster.

These motivational prints and some framed art can add colors.

You can experiment with different colors and see what works best for you. Bright colors give you more energy.

Or you would prefer a palette of pastels. Just try.

Display Pictures

Hang pictures of your family, your significant other, and the places you have visited.

These will not only add color but rekindles some memories. Some seasons of happiness.

Seeing these images daily can remind you of the good times and brighten your spirit. Gives a boost of your productivity.

There are many studies that showed the impact of color of office furniture with the productivity of employees.

One such study was authored by Nancy Kwallek of University of Texas at Austin.

It said that white and blue office furniture colors increased job satisfaction and performance, but black and grey decreased them.

Surround your cubicle with reminders of happy memories. Consider posting your vision board.

If you’re not familiar with it, it is just a board where you pin or post your cutouts or pictures of the material things you wanted to have.

A cutout or picture of your dream Ferrari or house perhaps?

The vision board visually represents your dreams, goals, and aspirations.

One thing, though, when you do these things is that you must think carefully about the size and where to hang these gizmos.

You would not want your cubicle to look like a little memorabilia boutique. Post things that are easily manageable.

A gallery wall with many small frames arranged in an organized manner would do this.

Or you can showcase one or two large frames as focal points in your partition wall.

Pictures, artwork, and motivational quotes, of course, remove the bore. It will help make your tiny space feel personalized and inspiring.

Make sure your displays reflect your hobbies, values, and ambitions by carefully curating them.

With a bit of work, you can make your workstation feel like you.

Get Organized

Getting organized not only brightens your cubicle, but it will also make your little cubicle clutter-free and your workload stress-free.

There a dozen types or so of desktop organizers. You have file folders, desk trays, drawer dividers and even hanging organizers.

These organizers are handy when desk space is limited. If your office table is only 60 cm x 120 cm, there’s little room left for your other paraphernalia.

Choose then what type of organizer fits your style.

Another way to get organized is by using a whiteboard or a corkboard.

Pin your important notes on the corkboard to remind you of your to-do list.

Whiteboards are also great for jotting down ideas or reminders that may pop up during a phone conversation.

These notes and reminders can help you stay focused and up-to-date with your work.

Add Some Greens

Plants improve air quality, reduce your stress level and, yes, improve productivity.

Aside from these, plants give an enclosed office a feeling of openness and connection to the outside, a feel-in-the-park mood. It gives you a relaxing atmosphere.

Some plants that are good to see and can thrive in low lighting conditions are Pothos, the Spider Plant, Fern, and Lucky Bamboo.

The Snake plant is also good, and it does not need much watering. But you need to be careful as this plant is poisonous.

If your cubicle space is very limited, just use small flower bases. Beautiful flowers can add color and even fragrance to your tiny abode.

Some studies show that plants and flowers can positively affect your productivity.

Remember that adding plants and flowers would add to your workload as you have to watch them and take care of them.

You have to water them, move them to sun-lighted areas, and clean the pots or vases.

But then these greens and colors of the plants and flowers give create a more inspiring environment.

Customize Your Accessories

You can personalize your cubicle walls and workstation if you’re comfortable doing so.

Stickers and decorative tape will do. Stickers are available in an array of styles. They are also very cheap.

They are also reasonably priced.

The first item you might want to start with is your laptop. Instead of the iconic apple in the laptop’s cover, a sticker with your favorite quotation would be ideal.

The quotation that you pasted at the laptop’s cover can be an excellent conversation starter if someone walks into your cubicle to have some chitchat.

Decorative tapes are available in a variety of colors and patterns.

The second item you will customize could be your desk and office chairs.

But whether your supervisor allows such changes is another thing. Just make certain. You may end up having to pay for your chair or table.

Don’t put anything offensive or inappropriate in there and follow any rules about decorating or changing office furniture.

So that’s it! And bingo you have an adorable office cubicle.

Personalizing your cubicle and desk accessories is a fun and creative way to make your workspace feel more unique and expressive of your personality.

Open Offices: A Surprising Breakdown of Pros and Cons

One of the most important decisions you’ll have to make when setting up your office is whether to have an open space layout or installing modular units or office cubicles. Both choices have pros and cons, so it’s important to think carefully about which is best for your business.

Here, we’ll discuss the advantages and disadvantages of open offices so you can decide what’s most suitable for you. In the next days we’ll tackle office cubicles.

OPEN OFFICES – The Advantages

Collaboration and Coordination

Open offices make it easier for your workers to communicate. Without those partition panels separating them, it would be easier for your employees to work on projects or solve problems together.

This type of arrangement makes it easy for managers and supervisors to monitor and manage their teams. They can easily notice if some of their group members are doing their jobs. Also, employees are easier to see and get in touch with.

The manager or supervisor can tell his staff what he wants them to do just by calling them by name. This can be especially helpful in high-stress or fast-paced work environments where it’s important to make decisions and talk to people quickly.

But here’s an update. The use of open office has been here for quite sometime now. There was study done and is now published in Harvard Business Review that those structures, meaning the open offices, “have produced less interaction.”

Cost Savings

You have less costs involve with an open office. The initial cash flow is important especially if your business is just starting out. A single office cubicle would cost between 20,000 Pesos and 25,000 Pesos. Now imagine if you have 50 people working for you. The cost savings from not having to buy or rent as much floor space is significant. With an open office, more workers can work in the same floor area.

A company would also look more modern and up-to-date with an open office plan. Most old offices with closed cubicles are seen as outdated. An open office layout can create a more relaxed and energetic workplace for creativity and new ideas.

Flexibility

Another benefit is flexibility. There are times when the way a business is run is changed. This changes the way information flows, which would directly affect where the staff is seated. Open offices could easily adjust to this. It would be easy to move the gears that belong to them, like bookstands and mobile cabinets. If another group or team comes in, you could add the needed furniture and move the tables and chairs that are already there.

Atmosphere

Now, natural light is something else. Most of the time, cubicles block light from coming in through the windows. Without anything blocking your view, open spaces make you feel like you’re at home. This would make you feel better and help you get more work done.

OPEN OFFICES – The Disadvantages

Privacy

The lack of privacy is a big problem with open offices. People would have difficulty having private conversations with their guests or coworkers. They could be talking hush or the person seated next to her could be distracted from her work. Employees can also find it annoying when their work is interrupted by the noise of their coworkers. This can lead to less work getting done.

Employees may find it hard to keep a healthy balance between work and life in an open office. Without the ability to separate work and personal life, employees may find themselves constantly on call and unable to stop thinking about work, leading to burnout and stress.

Another thing is that employees would have a hard time doing business on their own, like calling clients or bosses, if there were no walls between them.

You may not be convinced that the abovementioned things are not entirely convincing against open offices. But if your company is involved with handling confidential information, Then reconsider. If you are in the healthcare business, finance, consulting, or law, then the open office may not be suited for you.

Because there isn’t enough privacy, security can be broken, which puts the organization at risk. Imagine having a business conversation with your client about investments, court cases, or competitors. These things are very private, so you wouldn’t talk about them in openly where people could listen in.

Work Environment

The lack of control over the space is another big problem with open offices. Most office workers care a lot about air conditioning and the temperature of the office. Some people like it somewhat warm and not too cold. Some people are fine with 17°C, but most are not. If your boss likes it to be 17 degrees, then have your jacket ready.

The light is something else. Some jobs need a lot of light, while others only need a little. In an open office type, you only have centralized overhead lights. Even though you can have your own table lamp, it will just add more stuff to your already limited workspace.

Spread of Diseases

The spread of diseases is one of the most important things that businesses worry about today. The cost of health care is going up, the number of sick leaves taken by employees are going up, and the government are making rules about social distancing and other hygiene requirements stricter.

We’ll talk about the pros and cons of office cubicles in the next post. At WORKZONE, we have furniture for any kind of office, whether it’s an open or a cubicle type. Inquire at wo***************@***il.com

Office Layout and Floor Plan for Your Business

With the growth of call centers all over the Philippines, there has been a deluge of orders and inquiries coming from our clients. Questions about the office layout, the make of the office cubicles, the sizes, the materials, and a host of others.

Among these, I’ve figured out the most common questions:

1.What is the size of a standard office cubicle?
2. What are some good office layouts?
3.What are the types of cubicles available?
4.What kind of office furniture is best for cubicles?

And here are our responses to these queries:

What is the size of a standard office cubicle?

Clients usually know what sizes they want before they come to us. They only want to check that they are correct.

Well, Managers, Supervisors, and Staff have different cubicle sizes. Managers typically have it at 8 ft by 8 ft (240 cm x 240 cm) closed cubicle with doors. Supervisors have it at 6 ft by 6 ft (180 cm x 180 cm) open cubicles and a passageway of about 2 ft (70 cm).

The staff are usually clustered, meaning they are grouped together. By fours, by six, and by tens. Some have the clusters at twelve if the office space is large. The staff are normally grouped this way. This is done to maximize office space. There are some limitations though set by the Building Code of the Philippines.

Now, clustering by fours means that two persons are facing each other. Clustering by six means that three persons are facing each other in the cubes. By tens, means five facing each other.

What are some good office layouts?

The office setup is one of the most important aspects of a call center’s success. It is not just the physical layout of the office that is important, but also how the cubicles are configured or arranged.

However, other places and areas must be considered in addition to cubicles when creating your office layout. All of these factors contribute significantly to the success of a call center.

• Reception area

This is the first stop for visitors to the company. In a large workplace, this space is fully equipped for the visitors’ comfort.

There’s the 3-seater sofa, the single seater, the center table, and the side tables. If many visitors are expected, then gang chairs would be most preferable.

For gang chairs, there’s 3-seater, 4-seater and 5-seater gang chairs. They could accommodate so many persons per square meter of your office floor.

Sizes of reception counters could vary. For small offices, the reception is manned by single personnel.

The width of the counter would range from 120 cm to 140 cm. Other medium-sized enterprises have counters up to 300 cm wide, manned by three office workers.

The firm logo is also displayed in the welcome area. Large or bright colored logos are the first signs that you’ll notice upon entry.

• Visitor’s area

This is now more common in new office set-ups. Because of the pandemic, visitors are allowed entry up to this area only. Unless you’ve gone through these so many procedures like temperature check, vaccine cards, etc you’ll remain in the visitor’s area.

The visitor’s area is a new cubicle designed specifically for visitors, delivery men, and the like. Inside this space are round tables, visitor’s chairs, cabinets and maybe some planter’s boxes. Because they take up less room, round tables are favored. A simple 90 cm diameter table would sit four persons. Two or three round tables would be fine in a 4×4 meter area.

• Rest area

This is where employees can unwind, chit-chats with colleagues about their day, and if necessary, rest for a while if the day has been particularly stressful. A 3-seater sofa with movable chairs would suffice. Side tables and a center table could also be included.

• Pantry

– Very useful here so that your staff will no longer get out of the office during breaks. Pantry tables and chairs if space permits. But usually, the space is just a place to prepare coffee and sandwiches or what have you snacks. This could be large enough to fit your refrigerator, water dispenser, small coffee table and other things needed for the pantry.

• Manager’s office

This is where the managers have their own private room for meetings. This room almost always has the comfort you would always desire. large table, executive chair, cabinets and many others. Client meetings are usually held here and if the room is big enough other participants could hop in. It depends on the occupant of this room if he wants more furniture inside his cube. Some would have sofas, center table, plant boxes, coffee table, a couple of good looking visitor’s chair.

• Conference room

Weekly employee meetings are done here. Usually involving only, the managers and supervisors. Most large companies have 12-seater conference tables. Medium size businesses have it at 6-seater or 8-seater tables. Conference chairs are usually high end, meaning more expensive than your regular office chairs.

Partition panels that enclose the conference room have typically the same height as the ceiling. This is referred to as floor to ceiling panels by contractors. The average ceiling height is 240 cm. Because of its enclosure, this room has its own air conditioner. Throughout the area, sound-proof panels are used.

What are the types of cubicles available?

There are basically two types of cubicles, the four-wall cubicles and open-wall cubicles.

Four-walled cubicles provide more seclusion than open-wall cubicles. The panels of these cubicles are 150 cm or greater in height. Supervisors are typically assigned to these types of cubicles.

The open-wall cubicles are not as high. They allow more people to see the occupants of the cubicle.
The panels are 135 cm and below. The most common height however is 120 cm. It’s about your eye level once your seated.

These cubicles only include a table and a bottom cabinet for storage space. This cabinet is called mobile pedestal. If your company’s design is particularly lavish, you may have wider tables, like 150 cm wide.

What are some office furniture that you would include in these cubicles?

First, the office desks. Managers have wider desks at 180 cm with a depth of 70 or 80 cm. Many would need a side cabinet of a side table.

In addition to the side cabinet, which is usually open, there is a mobile pedestal for important papers. For even larger files, lateral cabinets may be required.

One or two visitor’s chairs may be required. If the cubicle is large enough, then a 2-seater or 3-seater sofa would add comfort to the visitors.
