Special Types

The Monobloc chair is a highly popular plastic chair sold worldwide, despite some controversies. Its inventor remains undetermined. In the early days, due to limitations in plastic molding technology, it could not be mass-produced. In the 1960s, designers began to show interest in plastic chairs, and with the introduction of thermoplastic plastics, mass production became possible. In 1983, the Grosfillex Group launched resin garden chairs and sold them at low prices in large quantities.

Quality and Safety Issues

Office chairs have been recalled at different times due to quality problems. On March 2, 2023, the United States and Canada recalled office chairs made in China because the backrests might break, posing a risk of falls. On September 30, 2024, the State Administration for Market Regulation found that 15 batches of office chairs failed the national supervision and inspection, with stability issues being prominent. On January 16, 2025, the United States recalled WorkPro Momentum office chairs made in China because the bolts might fail, posing a risk of falls. This reminds consumers to pay attention to product quality and safety information when purchasing plastic office chairs and to choose products from regular channels with quality guarantees.
