The first thing to remember when purchasing a chair is not cost or what it looks like it should be what is the job it needs to do.
- How long are you sat in it?
- What floor is it on this affects the casters as you require?
- What height do you need the chair to go?
If you’re using a bench, which in many cases that I’ve seen over the years, they are too tall and the standard chairs will not reach to the height you require. This can be rectified very easily at manufacture with a slightly taller gas lift which in most cases is at no extra cost, but if it’s a retrofit it can be expensive.
The other area to look at is the size of the chair related to the person that’s in it. Over the years I have delivered chairs that when delivered it bceomes obvious that the chair is not to the right standard. This is usually because a manager has purchased what appeared to be an inexpensive chair. Don’t be taken in by the look of the chair! Mix chairs can be very good and very cool in summer, but they really do need to have the adjustments which many low-cost mesh chairs do not.
