Why Visit the Healthy Home & Office Showroom?

Buying an ergonomic office chair or desk online can be difficult. You can compare measurements, features and specifications, but how do you really know if a chair will be comfortable for you? Or whether a height-adjustable desk will work with your existing setup?

The truth is, you often don't know until you try it.

That's why visiting a showroom is such an important part of choosing the right ergonomic office furniture. At the Healthy Home & Office showroom in Guildford, you can try different chairs, test desks and accessories, ask questions, and get practical advice from people who understand ergonomics.

But don't just take our word for it. Our customers regularly tell us that the opportunity to visit the showroom and receive personal advice made all the difference.

Try Before You Buy

One of the biggest advantages of visiting our showroom is being able to experience the products for yourself.

An office chair might look perfect online, but comfort is personal. Your height, body shape, working habits, existing health concerns and preferred sitting position can all affect whether a chair is right for you.

The same applies to desks and accessories. The right height-adjustable desk, monitor arm or ergonomic accessory should work as part of your complete workstation — not just look good on a product page.

Our customers appreciate having the opportunity to explore their options before making a decision.

Matt, who visited us when choosing a new office chair, said:
"Great service when buying a new office chair. Plenty of choice to try in store and excellent advice."
Mark also highlighted the range available:
"Excellent range of chairs to try. Great advice."
And Harriet summed up the value of visiting the showroom particularly well:
"On Phil's suggestion I visited their showroom to try out and see their chairs and products for myself and to be sure anything I bought was right. I would highly recommend doing the same; what a difference it makes."
That's exactly what we want our showroom to provide — the chance to take your time, explore your options and make a decision based on how something actually feels and works for you.

Get Advice Based on Your Needs

Ergonomics isn't one-size-fits-all.

The chair that works perfectly for one person might not be the right choice for someone else. Your desk height, screen position, keyboard and mouse, sitting habits and the amount of time you spend working can all influence your comfort.

That's why we don't believe in simply pointing you towards the most expensive chair or desk.

Our team takes the time to understand what you need and why you're looking for a new setup. Whether you're experiencing discomfort, setting up a home office, replacing an old chair or looking to improve an existing workstation, we can help you understand the options available.

Laura visited our showroom and described the experience as follows:
"Philip was incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of postural health, and provided us with all the information we needed to make a decision on what we required specifically for our needs."
She also highlighted the opportunity to try different products and ask questions:
"We were allowed to try out all the different ergonomic chairs and height adjustable desks, and felt safe to ask any questions at all."
For us, that's an important part of the showroom experience. You should feel comfortable asking questions, taking your time and exploring different options before deciding what is right for you.

No Pressure — Just Honest, Practical Advice

Choosing an ergonomic chair or desk is an investment, and we know that you don't want to feel pressured into making a quick decision.

Many of our customers tell us that they value the personal approach they receive when dealing with our team.

Harriet described our service as:
"Unbelievably helpful with tips and advice a plenty and no pressure to buy."
Frances shared a similar experience after choosing her office chair:
"All the people involved in my selection, ordering and delivery of my chair were terrific and took the time with me that I needed to make the right selection. I never felt that they would rather be selling ten chairs to a commercial office than one to me for my study."
That's the kind of service we aim to provide to every customer, whether you're buying one chair for your home office or looking for furniture for a larger workplace.

We'd rather help you find the right solution than encourage you to buy something that isn't suitable.

See How Everything Works Together

A comfortable chair is only one part of a good workstation.

When you visit the showroom, you can look at your chair, desk and accessories as part of a complete setup. We can talk through things such as:
  • Your sitting position and chair adjustments
  • Desk height and working position
  • Monitor height and screen positioning
  • Keyboard and mouse placement
  • Monitor arms and other workstation accessories
  • Ways to make your existing workstation more comfortable
Sometimes, the solution isn't necessarily replacing everything.

A small change to your monitor position or the addition of a monitor arm can make a significant difference to your working setup.

A Personal Service From a Local Business

When you buy office furniture online, your experience can often end when the payment has been processed and the parcel arrives.

We believe it should be different.

As a small, local business, we take pride in offering a personal service from the first conversation through to delivery, installation and aftercare.

Chad recently shared his experience after purchasing four office chairs. When the chairs needed different bases and gas lifts to work for his staff, our team returned to the office to resolve the issue. He said:
"The team are a small local business that gave us a level of care and personal service you just wouldn't get online."
That personal service doesn't stop once your furniture has been delivered.
Dave had a problem with a standing desk he purchased before the COVID pandemic:
"My desk suddenly looked a little wonky. Emailed the team, they researched the issue, phoned me back and provided a solution. WONDERFUL service."
For us, these experiences are incredibly important. We want to build relationships with our customers, not simply complete a transaction.

From Choosing Your Furniture to Delivery and Installation

Choosing the right furniture is only part of the experience. You also want to know that everything will arrive safely and be set up correctly.
Carlo highlighted the complete experience he received:
"From the moment you choose your stuff in the showroom, until the delivery and installation occurs, it all goes very smoothly and without any bad surprises."
We aim to make the process as straightforward as possible, from helping you choose the right products to getting them delivered and set up.

Whether you're setting up a home office, improving your current workstation or furnishing a workplace, we're here to help you find a solution that works for you.

Don't Just Shop Online — Experience the Difference

The best ergonomic office furniture isn't necessarily the product with the longest list of features or the highest price tag.

It's the product that's right for you.

Our customers regularly tell us that having the opportunity to try different products, ask questions and receive personal advice helped them make the right decision.

As Graham put it after visiting us on two occasions before making his decision:
"Very pleased to have discovered Healthy Home Office. I visited on two occasions before making a decision, and both Phil and Fraser were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Happy to recommend."
That's exactly how we want you to feel when you leave our showroom: confident that you've explored your options, understood what you need and made an informed decision.
