Client Testimonials
A great experience
This is a great place! Jeff is very knowledgeable and was able to offer a couple of different types of chairs as well as different options within each type. They had many chairs on-site to try out and I was able to take one home for a day which gave me the confidence to make my purchase. All in all it was a great experience and I got a great chair.

A hidden gem
I had spent months looking for a new chair that would help my back (I have an old football injury), and had tried everything from office supply stores to upscale furniture stores – everything was either too cheap and poorly made or too expensive (and not comfortable). Jeff (the owner) took the time to help me find the right chair that met my budget, but is also incredibly comfortable. He even let me take a sample chair home for a few days to make sure it was really right for me before buying my own.
Even if you’re only in the market for one chair as I was, Jeff will treat you like you’re in the market for 100. This place is a hidden gem and definitely worth checking out if you need a new chair.

A perfect match
What arrived was a perfect match at great price. He helped measure out what fit and compared it to what I wanted. Applied Ergonomics was able to create a design that was fantastic. Jeff personally came out to my office after all of our business was completed and paid for to make sure I was happy. He introduced me to another consultant of his to ensure there was always someone available for me. Jeff has been quick to respond to my calls and has been more than accommodating with every aspect of my project.

An incredible experience
Working with Jeff and his team has been an incredible experience. His team has helped us design and renovate five of our Health Centers. Each experience has been full of fresh new ideas. It is especially rewarding to tour visitors through our Streamwood Community Health Center and receive feedback on how beautiful the entire place is. The furniture and art work complement each other perfectly and the result whenever we work with their team is stunning.

Applied Ergonomics was friendly and…
AppliedErgonomics was friendly and quickly responded to my inquiries about the Hag Capiso chair. They made sure I was confident with my purchase and were transparent in the ordering and return process. They even updated me on my shipping information and when I could expect my order. Outstanding customer service.
As good as the service
AE was awesome. Hopefully the product is as good as the service. Thanks.
Attention to detail
I have used the services and products provided by Jeff Meltzer and the Applied Ergonomics team for nearly 15 years as we’ve collaborated on numerous projects. And a few reasons why I will continue to use Applied Ergonomics is their ability to listen and their attention to detail while maintaining strict budgetary constraints.
I easily and comfortably recommend Jeff and the AE staff for their excellent interior design, furniture selections, installation and management solutions.

Better than anyone expected
I worked with Jeff and his team on the installation of furniture in our new building. This was not a simple project. Applied Ergonomics needed to inventory, disassemble existing Trendway workstations and moveable wall, clean it all, and space plan and re-assemble them in different configurations throughout our 3-story, 60,000 square foot building in conjunction with our design firm Harley Ellis Deveraux. The Applied Ergonomics team worked diligently to “make it right” for us, and the end product turned out looking better than anyone expected. I was very impressed with the staff. Jeff, Amy and the installation team all worked hard to make sure that we were happy with the finished product. I would definitely recommend Applied Ergonomics and use them again if the opportunity presents itself.

Compassionate and patient
I have had persistent lower back pain for several years after an auto accident. My physical therapist recommended that I spoke with Jeff about finding a chair that would alleviate some of the pain. The first time I met with him, Jeff listened to my problems and had me try out several chairs in his office and then let me take one back to my workplace to try out. After a couple of weeks, I decided that chair did not work out, and went back to switch to a different one to try out. In total, I tried out 4 different chairs and finally decided to buy one that worked best. It took more than 3 months to find the chair that finally worked. Through the entire process, Jeff has been very understanding, compassionate and patient. I am very impressed with his professionalism and the quality of his service.

Every time I call someone familiar picks up the phone and has answers. I could not be happier with the products and service.
Exemplary trustworthy service, product and communication
I am a cardiac sonographer and I have been searching the web for a couple of months trying find the best deal on Hag Capisco chairs. I stumbled upon Applied Ergonomics after thinking I had exhausted all avenues. After speaking with Jeff, I was surprised to learn their advertisement was no nonsense and there were no gimmicks. I not only received the most competitive pricing of any Hag dealer on the web, Jeff was patient, professional.
Rather than elaborate in detail, I will simply say that if you are considering any product that Applied Ergonomics offers, whether it’s a small or large order, just allow them the opportunity to compete for your business and you won’t be disappointed…if you value under promising and over delivering, call.

Experience and professionalism
I am a realtime broadcast captioner and spend many hours a day in my office chair. I need an ergonomic chair that would give me support throughout my body. Jeff was very helpful and knowledgeable in all aspects of his product. Jeff also was willing to answer any questions after delivery of the product to make sure I was satisfied with my purchase. If you are looking for experience and professionalism, give Jeff a call.

Outstanding service
I worked with AE to purchase a desk chair for my home office, and the service I received was outstanding. They answered all my questions about the Trendway sketch. Once the order was submitted, they gave me an accurate estimate of when the chair would arrive, and they alerted me just before it was scheduled to be delivered.
Unfortunately, when the chair arrived there was a problem with its back adjustment. When I alerted them about this they immediately arranged to have a replacement chair back sent to me and later followed up to make sure that the problem had been corrected.
Based on this experience, I am happy to give Applied Ergonomics my highest recommendation. I would also give a high recommendation to the Trendway Sketch desk chair.

Very knowledgeable
Jeff Meltzer of Applied Ergonomics came to our office to have us check out some ergonomic office chairs. We had bought some nice chairs from Jeff before. Jeff brought 3 different types of chairs and left them with us to test them out. He saw immediately that I was wearing a thumb and wrist brace and he asked me if I was having trouble when typing – I type 100 wpm and am at the computer almost all of my 9 hour work day. I told him when I do a lot I have some pain and wear the brace. He did an ergonomic evaluation of my hands and wrists – also my neck, shoulders and upper and lower back. He was able to recommend a lot of useful ergonomic items to help ease the pain of arthritis, etc. and very knowledgeable in all of these matters. I would recommend Applied Ergonomics and specifically Joe Meltzer to everyone who needs office equipment.

Personalized approach
As always, you’re awesome. Thanks so much for your personalized approach to helping my patient. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I always think of you for my “tough patients” because I know that you can handle them and figure out solutions. So thanks for taking the time to go out of your way for her. I appreciate your talents.

Flexible and willing to listen
At Automattic, everyone’s primary work space is their home office, in 30 countries around the world. We give each Automattician a home office stipend to invest in setting up their office. Jeff reaches out to Automatticians by Skype video to determine how and where they work, then makes suggestions and provides products to help them set up ergonomically correct work stations. We’ve had several people say that their neck and back pain has been reduced substantially because of Jeff’s recommendations. We really appreciate his flexibility and his willingness to listen to what’s important for each person. We look forward to continuing to work together!

Top-notch
Jeff and his staff are top-notch. Jeff designed our entire office from the ground up, including private offices and open-area workstations. He has numerous connections to complete an office from carpet/tile & furniture, to pictures on the hung on the walls! Applied Ergonomics works closely with project managers from beginning to end and they leave no stone unturned. Follow-up is another great benefit you’ll enjoy when using Jeff and company.
If you want your office designed correctly, with professionalism and a critical eye to detail, call Jeff at Applied Ergonomics. This is a highly recommended Jeff’s company as they will leave you with satisfaction, a great experience, and a beautiful office.

Fantastic experience!
Applied Ergonomics provided excellent service every step of the way. Any time I had a question, they promptly answered in my preferred method of communication. I will always go to them first for any future purchases.
Great deal and personalized service
Got a great deal on a Mobis II stool and footrest bundle, $100 less than most dealers. The staff was friendly over the phone and was willing to accommodate my needs by delaying the shipping date to a specific date that I needed. Product arrived in good condition.
Instant email response
Amazing service. Instant email response. I would definitely buy from these guys again without hesitation.
Hard work and attention to detail
Jeff and his team faced a formidable challenge with Harris & Harris‘s move. The client decided to reuse all of their existing call center workstation product and supplement with new to accommodate their rapid growth. The AE team successfully completed a detailed inventory, developed and implemented a multiple phase and logistics and installation plan for the reused product, guided the client through the selection and order process for the new product, and managed the decommissioning of the remaining product from the client’s old 40,000 square foot facility within one week, organized and cleaned for later reuse. All of this was done on an extremely aggressive schedule, and with the directive to keep costs as low as possible. In the final analysis, the client’s new 3-floor, 70,000 square foot facility looks great while meeting the client’s functional and financial goals. Thanks in part to the hard work and attention to detail by the AE team, the project was a tremendous success.

Totally Responsive!
Applied Ergonomics was just great to work with and shipped my order right away.
Highly recommended
Just did renovation of roughly 5000 sq ft of office space, including two conference rooms, 8 offices and cubicle seating for 12. Worked directly with Jeff. Jeff is an absolute pleasure to work with. Thorough and knowledgeable, he helped us well beyond buying and installing the furniture.
Ergonomic details, color and fabric schemes, overall flow and practical layout-related issues were all thoroughly vetted and addressed with the assistance of Jeff’s experience and professionalism.
The construction phase of the project took on a life of its own due to unforeseen subcontractor delays, but that just gave me more time to look forward to the finished product. Even with that buildup in anticipation, Jeff and his team fully exceeded all expectations.
The project looks outstanding. We are extremely happy and we have Jeff and his team to thank. This was our first project together, but it will be the first of many to come. Highly recommended!

Great place to go
Found this place on yelp. Great customer service. Was looking for a home office chair and stopped by the office building in Skokie. I was introduced to a chair that I liked and had not considered purchasing. Great place to go for a custom fit chair and other office furniture.

Great service.
Staff focused on our needs and were super helpful and knowledgeable. I recommend this company.
First review ever
I have used a standing desk for 13+ years and Applied Ergonomics fitted me back then. I recently changed positions and had the same need of a stand up desk set-up with slightly different needs. Applied Ergonomics came in and made some amazing suggestions that worked wonderfully. They even allowed for a ‘test-drive’ to make sure I was comfortable and are always available for follow-up. I think highly enough of their group to post my first review, ever…

Great customer support – proactive in problem solving
Strongly recommended
A friend recommended that I call Jeff when I needed to set up an office in my home. His company gave me exactly what I was looking for; a showroom with examples, thoughtful, quick service, good and timely delivery of items and great prices. I strongly recommend Applied Ergonomics to all my friends.

Very impressed
I was very impressed with applied ergonomics! I started working from home in April 2018 and began having wrist pain due to using the wrong equipment. After purchasing a number of items on Amazon that did nothing to help, I found Applied Ergonomics after a google search. Initially, I requested a consultation online. D.J. immediately responded to my e-mail with a number of helpful hints to stop my wrist pain. After his e-mail, I had an in person consultation where I as able to tryout out different chairs, desks, mice, and keyboard trays among other items. I purchased a standing desk, new chair, and a keyboard tray that day! I ended up returning the keyboard tray as it did not fit my desk (which I was aware of upon purchase but naively thought that I would be able to modify it). However, there was no hassle with the return. I am also happy to report that due to my new desk and chair, I no longer have wrist pain and enjoy my work from home! Thank you D.J. and applied ergonomics!
