Old Version Office Chair

The old version of office chairs mainly refers to second-hand products that have been used and are in circulation in the market. Their prices, quality, and functions vary significantly depending on the brand, model, and usage conditions, and there is currently no unified definition or classification standard.

1. Wide Price Range in the Second-hand Market
The prices of old office chairs are significantly influenced by brand, model, condition, and region. For example, the prices of second-hand office chairs from the Jiayou brand in Shenzhen, Guangdong, range from 30 yuan per chair (basic model) to 888 yuan per set (complete set or high-end model); the price range for second-hand ergonomic chairs provided by Second Tree Recycled Furniture in Hunan is from 520 yuan to 6,000 yuan, covering mid-range to high-end products. The price differences mainly stem from brand premium, functional design (such as ergonomic adjustments), and the degree of wear and tear, with some high-end models retaining significant value even as second-hand products.

2. Quality Disputes and Compliance Coexist
Old office chairs may have potential quality issues, but these need to be judged on a case-by-case basis. For example, the popular "Liu Liu Stool" exposed in 2026 was accused of using moldy wooden boards and waste foam, raising health concerns. However, the inspection report provided by the merchant showed that it complied with the QB/T 2280-2016 "Office Chair" industry standard, indicating that the product met basic safety requirements upon leaving the factory. Such disputes reflect the difficulty in regulating the second-hand market: some old chairs may experience material aging due to long-term use or improper storage, but compliance should be based on inspection reports or production standards rather than just appearance or subjective judgment.

3. Function Retention and Assembly Methods
Some old office chairs still retain basic functions, but their designs may be outdated compared to newer models. For example, the 2018A model office chair uses a traditional assembly method with screws and washers, which is simple in structure but relies on the degree of wear of the components for stability. In contrast, newer office chairs often adopt modular designs or pneumatic rod adjustments, offering richer functions. The function retention of old chairs needs to be evaluated based on specific models, with some classic models remaining popular in the market due to their durable structures.

Summary
The core characteristic of old office chairs is their "second-hand nature," and their value should be comprehensively evaluated from three aspects: price, quality compliance, and function retention. When purchasing, it is advisable to prioritize products with inspection reports, pay attention to the condition and wear of core components (such as pneumatic rods and wheels), and avoid overlooking safety hazards due to low prices.
