shown in Table 3 need to be used whenever designers
wish to have adjustable classroom furniture (which is
ergonomic design desktop–chair) in the four selected
tertiary institutions, Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya. In
this study, therefore, there is only one type of innovative ergonomically suitable classroom desktop–chair
design that was proposed to improve the match
between classroom desktop–chairs dimensions and
students’ anthropometric characteristics.
5.2 Recommendation
In this 21st century, it is highly recommended that
the analysed anthropometric data set from this study
be used for the design of classroom desktop–chairs
for students in the four selected tertiary institutions, Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya. Achieving this will
ensure safety, comfort, adaptability, suitability, and
ultimately guarantee user satisfaction. The authors
propose further work on seat chair design for elderly
people should be carried out, with ergonomic and
anthropometric consideration; this will allow seat
chair design that is sustainable, safe, and comfortable
as well as helping in health care.
Lastly, the goal is not to be perfect, it is just to be
better than before (Pusca & Northwood 2018).
