Are you able to clearly read and see the monitor without interference from glare?

Do you have adequate room to move your legs and feet freely under your work surface?

Can you fit at least two fingers, but no more than one fist between the back of your knees and the front edge of your chair when sitting with your back against the back rest?

Are your legs horizontal with the floor and your feet flat on the floor or a footrest?

If you use armrests, are your shoulders relaxed and your elbows directly under your shoulders?

Is your lumbar curve supported and maintained?

Does the location of your documents allow you to keep your head upright (i.e. you are not bending or twisting your head)?

Is the top of the monitor slightly below your eyelevel when looking straight ahead (i.e. your head is not bend up or down to view the monitor)? If you wear bifocals or progressive lenses, is your head held upright without your chin tipping up or down?

Are you able to work with your elbows directly under your shoulders (i.e. you are not over reaching for the mouse or other objects)?
