What Do You Look for In an Office Chair?

 

So, you are the owner of a new business or perhaps you are expanding your existing business and moving to larger premises, which requires a complete refurbishment… Either way, you need to make sure each member of your office staff has the ideal place to sit and a decent office chair to sit on.

 

But how do you choose? You definitely want all your employees to be comfortable for the entire day at work, so you will need to make sure every single office chair can be adjusted to suit each individual’s personal and physical requirements.

 

You may decide the type of office chair in the meeting rooms or the ones for the heads of department deserve to be a little more opulent perhaps. You will also be taking into consideration the optimum comfort for the optimum cost and multiplying that figure by the number of seats you require.

 

These important decisions, plus all the initial planning, spatial planning, and overall design considerations to make certain the chosen style of office chair enhance the required ambience of the new premises, combined with ensuring all the calculations fit within your refurbishment budget, can take an extreme amount of time and energy.

 

With so much to keep in mind, you will probably be looking for ways to make these decisions faster, and with more convenience, while keeping everything on budget.

 

When it comes to everyone feeling comfortable for a full day in the office, five days a week, the right office chair is essential for a contented workforce. It will be worth looking at the following features before making a choice:

 

1. Can the height be adjusted?
2. Is there an adjustable backrest?
3. What is the lumbar support like? Can that too be adjusted?
4. What is the seat depth like? Is it deep and wide enough?
5. Is the material covering the chair breathable?
6. Are there armrests and can they be removed by the person seated?
7. Can all the elements to adjust the office chair be reached from a seated position easily and conveniently?
8. Would your office staff prefer a swivel chair or one with casters, and will this decision fit with your flooring design, e.g. will they be noisy when moved?
9. Has there been a discussion with your staff and has a mutually agreed-upon consensus been reached?
10. Can the manufacturer be sure to deliver your order to your specification on time, and can they provide the correct assurances and guarantees of maintenance for an agreed-upon time period?

 

With so much to think about before you purchase even a single office chair, it is always recommended to shop locally. A local distributor and manufacturer of corporate furniture can be essential for those sudden unexpected damages, like heat damage, spillage on the seat covers, or just plain wear and tear.

 

With a local manufacturer and/or supplier, it is always good to check out their website during the initial stage of looking for furniture with your interior designer. You want to check out personal recommendations by other local businesses with a similar type of workforce to your own. Additionally, it is always a good idea to support the local businesses in your area.

 

At the end of the day, it is your employees that ensure your business keeps growing and thriving within your industry, so the comfort of your team members must remain one of the top priorities when it comes to the day-to-day operation of your business. There are a lot of important challenges to deal within today’s tough environment and complaints about an individual’s office chair not being up to scratch certainly needs not be one of them.
