21 Feb What Chair is the Best for Office?
Whether you’re an interior designer procuring items for your client, or a business owner furnishing your own office space,
this could be one of the questions you get asked ever so often:
What chair is the best for office?
With the many choices now available, decision-making can be a little difficult.
Let’s make decision-making easier with these simple tips!
Ergonomic Design
Wellness in the office is one major consideration in the modern workplace and getting the right office chairs is just one aspect of it.
There are many choices of ergonomic office chairs on the market now but the most basic features an office chair should have are:
Spacious chair seat
Height-adjustable chair seat
Adequate arm support
Adequate lower back support

Stability
Apart from the maximum weight capacity, you will want to make sure that the chair does not topple over when you lean back in it. How to make sure of that? Let’s perform a ‘lean-back’ test.
Push the back of the chair backwards as far as you can and if the chair remains standing, you’ve got yourself a winner!
Watch the short-clip below to see how:
Durability
Naturally, we want to ensure the chair we purchased is worth our money, therefore we would want to make sure our chair is made of good material.
We recommend the following for different parts of the chair:
Chair Frame, Chair Base, and Castor Wheels – nylon is a good option because of its hard-wearing properties.
Chair Seat – high-density foam is ideal because it maintains its shape well.
What about the upkeeping?
Office chairs come in a myriad of covering – from leather and PVC, to fabric and plastic, each requiring a different maintenance routine. Perhaps the questions to answer will be:
-
where will these chairs be placed?
-
how much human traffic is expected?
-
how much time, effort, and resources will you be willing to invest in the upkeeping.
These questions should help in narrowing down the choices.
Ok… so I can make a decision just based on the above?
Well, if you ask us, not really. Why?
Because videos, images, product descriptions, and even reviews, can only tell you that much! At the end of the day, if you’re going to be purchasing the item for the whole company, it is still wise to head down to the showroom where you and your client can test the chairs for yourselves.
After all, what can beat first-hand experience, agree?
