Old-style Office Chairs

Old-style office chairs can be mainly divided into two categories: antique office chairs with collection value and used ergonomic office chairs circulating in the second-hand market.

Antique Office Chairs with Collection Value

Office chairs from the late Qing and early Ming dynasties are top-tier antiques with extremely high collection value. These office chairs adopt the 'one-wood-one-piece' craftsmanship, meaning the entire chair is made from a single piece of wood, reflecting the exquisite woodworking skills of that time. Their materials are usually high-quality hardwoods such as rosewood and huanghuali. These woods are not only hard and have beautiful textures but also possess good durability. Wheat-ear patterns are one of the typical characteristics of such woods. They are natural textures formed by the fiber structure of the wood, as delicate and regular as wheat ears, adding artistic beauty to the chairs. The single-board design further highlights their preciousness because large-sized single-board woods are relatively rare in nature and require long-term growth and careful material selection to obtain. In addition, these office chairs are relatively heavy. For example, an office chair from the late Qing and early Ming dynasties weighs more than 13 jin, which is also a manifestation of its high-quality material. Due to their long history and well-preserved condition, these antique office chairs are highly sought after in the collection market, often commanding high prices and having significant appreciation potential.

Used Ergonomic Office Chairs Circulating in the Second-hand Market

There are also many used office chairs in the second-hand market. These chairs are mostly designed with modern ergonomics in mind, aiming to provide a comfortable sitting posture and support. For example, the used Liming Lmfu office chair, computer chair, and lifting chair are priced at 520 yuan. It has a lifting function that can be adjusted according to the user's height and sitting posture requirements. At the same time, it adopts a comfortable waist-supporting design that can effectively reduce waist pressure. The used Kokuyo ENTRY ergonomic chair is priced at 620 yuan. It features a simple swivel chair design, suitable for various office environments. Its ergonomic design can fit the human body curve and provide good support. The 90% new used Steelcase Personality ergonomic chair is priced at 820 yuan. As a product of a well-known brand, its quality and design are guaranteed to a certain extent. Even after use, it can still provide a relatively comfortable sitting experience. These used office chairs are relatively inexpensive and are a good choice for consumers with limited budgets who still need ergonomic chairs.
