![]() The selected tertiary institutions for the survey were Moi University (MU), University of Eldoret (UoE), Rift Valley Technical Training Institute (RVTTI) and The Eldoret National Polytechnic (TENP). ![]() Anthropometric data was collected from a total of three hundred and eighty-two (382) students of both genders. ![]() This research, therefore, aimed to use the concept of ergonomics to design classroom desktop-chair for students in Uasin-Gishu County. Ergonomically designed furniture is known to reduce musculoskeletal disorders and improve the attentiveness of students in the classroom environment. This may cause musculoskeletal disorders and affect learning effectiveness due to sitting for a long time in an awkward position. Therefore, there is a mismatch between classroom desktop-chairs dimensions and students' anthropometric characteristics. The design of classroom desktop-chairs (one size fits all) in many institutions is usually done with no consideration of ergonomics.
