Office Chair Guide

Office chairs are chairs equipped for the convenience of work, and when purchasing, attention should be paid to key points such as adjustment functions and the chassis, while also being mindful of quality issues.

Definition and Classification of Office Chairs

Office chairs are chairs equipped for the convenience of work in daily routines and social activities. In a narrow sense, they refer to backrest chairs used for desk work while sitting. In a broad sense, they include all chairs used in offices, such as executive chairs and staff chairs. Office swivel chairs are equipped with rotation and height adjustment functions and include series such as executive chairs, mid-back chairs, and staff chairs. Executive chairs have high backrests with armrests, while staff chairs have low backrests without armrests.

Key Points for Purchase

• Adjustment Functions: More is not necessarily better; choose according to your own needs. 3D armrests are suitable for most people. Mobile game console players can consider 4D, 5D, or armrests that can rotate inward at a large angle. For those with a normal sitting posture and no waist problems, fine-tuning or manually adjustable armrests are sufficient. Chairs with self-adaptive lumbar support have the highest fault tolerance.
• Chassis: Often overlooked, but it determines the comfort when leaning back. Mechanical chassis are suitable for those who do not frequently use the leaning-back function. Linear gravity-sensing chassis can provide different leaning-back resistances for people of different weights, making leaning back smoother. They are suitable for those who like to lean back or share the chair with family members.

Industry Quality Issues

There are quality issues with office chairs. For example, the United States and Canada have once recalled office chairs made in China due to the risk of backrest breakage and bolt failure, which could lead to falls. The national supervision and random inspection of office chairs by the State Administration for Market Regulation also found that some products have prominent stability issues.
