Office furniture is more than just a place to set your monitor and coffee mug. It's your home for a good chunk of the workday. Comfort isn't a luxury; it's an important contributor to your health and productivity. Ergonomic desks and chairs help you and your employees ward off repetitive-motion and other work-related injuries.

But La-Z-Boy has learned something designing all those high-end recliners and over-stuffed chairs, and it now incorporates that technology into a line of business chairs.
