Rush Introuces Healthy Home Office Work Station

Furniture World Magazine

Consumers are spending more time than ever in front of their computer. Whether they are using it for recreation, home office functions or that Great  American Novel, computers and their workstations have become a permanent fixture in today's homes. But how healthy are these environments? An adult -- or a child -- seated at  an ill-fitting desk in an uncomfortable chair in a roomful of stale air for  hours can experience a number of problems immediately or longterm. Asthma has  become epidemic, as children spend more and more time indoors with their computers and video games. After a global search, Rush Industries has created an ergonomic package of home furnishings that can address the serious health issues of consumers. As part of this Ergonomic Collection, Rush can offer a choice of computer  desks with built-in features that minimize fatigue and repetitive motion ailments. The retractable keyboard can be adjusted for individual comfort; the monitor shelf can be placed at a level for the user's ideal visibility. The various shelves can be arranged so home office contents are within easy reach of the user. Rush also has a selection of quality office chairs that have their own ergonomic features, such as height adjustment, lumbar support and arm-height adjustment. As a bonus, Rush has made a special arrangement with Ionic Zone, a leading electrostatic air cleaner. The flat, small footprint (8-1/4" x 8") permits the air cleaner to be placed anywhere on the desk surface or one of its shelves with little interference of daily work duties. The silent, forced air fan and filtration system contains a deodorized carbon filter and a HEPA filter for particulate matter to remove dust and help ensure a cleaner breathing environment. A  25-pin ion generator helps replace the stale air surrounding the consumer with fresh air that has the ideal levels of ions, similar in feel to the feeling of air shortly after a rain. This electro-static filter removes 90 percent of the contaminants in the air, up to 300 square feet. Few other products of its kind can offer that kind of cleaning power. Products, such as Ionic Breeze from The Sharper Image and Pure Ion from Brookstone, can cost over $300. But Rush will provide an Ionic Zone unit for free for any desk-and-chair combination purchased during High Point's October market.
