A familiar chair supports familiar routines
Emma explains that her chair supports work, travel and social life. Replacing it involves more than changing a device: even small differences in measurements can affect activities she already manages.
A demonstration is not the final configuration
She describes a lengthy assessment conversation and trying an Aviva RX40. She also explains that the demonstration setup was not the setup she would need, including different footplates. Those are her individual requirements, not general recommendations about a design.
A useful trial question
Our takeaway is to ask which parts of a demonstration chair differ from the proposed delivery configuration. Record everyday tasks you want to preserve, and ask how the final fit will be checked. Familiarity and personal priorities deserve space alongside the specification sheet.
