Backworld are experts in seating and desking solutions.
Sitting at a poor quality, ill fitting workstation all day is one the biggest causes of back pain and workplace absence in the UK. We believe every desk worker should have a suitable chair and a sit and stand desk. But with such a bewildering choice of solutions, finding the right one can be daunting.
We’re here to help you understand the difference between a lumbar support and a pelvic support chair. We always recommend trying a selection of chairs before making a choice and most of what you see on the website is in Exeter for you to trial. So please call us, we’re very friendly! Call us today, and we’ll discuss your requirements. We have a showroom in Marsh Barton where we can meet you by appointment, or we can visit you in your home or work so that you can be sure the products you select are right for you. We are open for business and have some chairs in stock for fast local delivery. We also offer ‘TRY BEFORE YOU BUY‘ options.
Please call us on 01392 202012 to discuss your seating requirements.
For customers who are too far for us to visit, we offer a delivery service. Order via the website or call us to discuss your requirements. Lead times vary as most chairs are delivered direct to you from the suppliers. Please call us to check availability. Desks are delivered in 48 hours directly to your door for self assembly. Remember, prevention is better than cure – don’t wait until you have back pain before getting your perfect chair or desk.
