Compact Office Chair Dimensions

Admin October 11, 2026

The dimensions of compact office chairs can be determined by referring to the specific model data of the Sunon Dolphin office chair and combining it with the size recommendations for general small office chairs. The following explains from two aspects: specific model parameters and general design standards.

I. Specific Dimensions of the Sunon Dolphin Office Chair The Sunon Dolphin office chair offers size data for two compact models:

  1. Model CDP60TW: Overall dimensions are W575 (width) * D575 (depth) * H865 (height) millimeters. The seat width is approximately 57.5 centimeters, the seat depth is 57.5 centimeters, and the overall height is 86.5 centimeters.
  2. Model CDP62TW: Overall dimensions are W575 (width) * D570 (depth) * H875 (height) millimeters. The seat width is also 57.5 centimeters, the seat depth is slightly reduced to 57 centimeters, and the overall height is increased to 87.5 centimeters. The seat width and depth of these two chairs exceed the recommended range for general small office chairs (seat width 45-50 centimeters, seat depth 40-45 centimeters), but the overall height is close to the general standard (100-110 centimeters). The size differences may be due to design positioning or functional variations, and their suitability should be judged based on actual usage scenarios.

II. Size Recommendations for General Small Office Chairs According to ergonomic and space utilization requirements, the key dimensional parameters for small office chairs are as follows:

  1. Seat Dimensions: It is recommended that the width be 45-50 centimeters and the depth be 40-45 centimeters. This range can accommodate most body types of users and avoid discomfort caused by a seat that is too narrow or too deep.
  2. Overall Height: Usually 100-110 centimeters, it needs to be coordinated with the desk height (generally 70-75 centimeters) to ensure that the user's arms hang naturally and the elbows are at approximately 90 degrees when sitting.
  3. Adjustable Parameters:
    • Seat Height: It is recommended to be 40-50 centimeters and adjustable to accommodate users of different heights and keep the thighs parallel to the ground.
    • Backrest Height: 60-80 centimeters, providing support from the waist to the shoulders and reducing fatigue from prolonged sitting.
    • Backrest Width: 40-50 centimeters, matching the seat width to ensure the stability of back support.

III. Selection Recommendations If strict compliance with the definition of 'compact' is required, priority can be given to referring to the minimum values in the general recommendations (such as a seat width of 45 centimeters and a seat depth of 40 centimeters) and selecting models with adjustable overall heights. The dimensions of the Sunon Dolphin office chair are more suitable for users of medium build. If space is limited or a compact design is needed, it is recommended to further compare small models from other brands or choose office chairs that can be folded or stacked to save space.
