dc.description.abstract	The chairs with mounted desktop are widely used in the lecture halls of Sri Lankan universities. An anthropometric survey was carried out among the university students in Sri Lanka to design fixed-type and side-mounted desktop chair and to assess the comfort levels of it based on the design dimensions. The first part of the study focused on design dimensions of the mounted desktop and recommended the dimensions for it. The side-mounted desktop chair needs to be tested for its effect on posture and comfort with proposed dimensions on user population
