Introduction to Office Chair Accessories

Admin October 14, 2026

The accessories of office chairs mainly include casters, chair legs, gas cylinders, bases, seats, armrests, backrest-seat connectors (corner brackets), backrests, lumbar pillows, headrests, and wheels, among others. Here is a detailed introduction:

  1. Casters: There are two types: ordinary casters and PU wheels. PU wheels are made of soft materials and are suitable for use on wooden floors and in computer rooms, as they do not scratch the floor.

  2. Chair Legs: The thickness of the iron frame directly affects the lifespan of the chair. There are various surface treatment methods, including polishing, painting, baking paint, and electroplating. Among them, chairs with good electroplating quality are less prone to rust. Five-star legs are universal accessories for office swivel chairs, with strong load-bearing capacity and high safety performance. They can be equipped with pneumatic or screw lifting mechanisms according to needs, and can also be customized based on samples or drawings.

  3. Gas Cylinders (Lifting Rods): Used to adjust the height and rotation of the chair, allowing users to adjust their sitting posture as needed. They are an indispensable part of office chair accessories.

  4. Base: The part that supports the seat, connected to the gas cylinder below, and supports the entire chair. It acts like a 'joint', connecting the seat cushion, backrest, and gas spring. Its main tasks include fixing and connecting various components, enabling the recline function, and providing adjustment functions (such as locking the recline angle and adjusting the recline tension).

  5. Seat: Composed of wood, foam, and fabric. The quality of the wood is not easily noticeable, but the quality and thickness of the foam directly affect comfort. There are various fabric options, such as linen, mesh, and leather.

  6. Armrests: The thickness affects quality, with thicker armrests being more durable and providing better support and comfort.

  7. Backrest-Seat Connectors (Corner Brackets): The seat and backrest are usually separate and connected using steel pipes or steel plates. The steel plates are typically 6mm or 8mm thick, with plates less than 6cm wide requiring an 8mm thickness to ensure a stable connection.

  8. Backrest: Made of a steel frame or plastic frame combined with mesh fabric, providing good breathability and helping to keep the back dry.

  9. Lumbar Pillow: Its design reflects the comfort of the chair. An appropriate lumbar pillow can reduce fatigue from prolonged sitting and protect waist health.

  10. Headrest: Also reflects the comfort of the chair, suitable for users who work for long periods, helping to relieve neck fatigue.

  11. Wheels: An indispensable part of modern office chairs, usually paired with five-star legs, capable of rotating 360 degrees for easy user movement and position adjustment.
