Think Office Chair

Admin October 08, 2026

The Think office chair is an ergonomic chair from the Steelcase brand, characterized by its unique design, high market circulation volume, and significant price differences.

Design Features
The core design of the Think office chair revolves around ergonomics. Its embedded dual-layer energy lumbar support is a notable highlight, allowing for free adjustment up and down according to user needs, precisely fitting the lumbar curve, effectively dispersing lumbar pressure, and alleviating fatigue from prolonged sitting. Additionally, the chair is equipped with a weight-sensing mechanism that automatically adjusts the backrest rebound force based on the user's weight, ensuring uniform support for users of different body types and avoiding lumbar discomfort caused by insufficient or excessive support.

Market Circulation
The second-hand market is an important channel for the circulation of Think office chairs. Due to the frequent centralized procurement and regular replacement of office furniture by foreign companies and large factories, a large number of second-hand Think chairs on the market originate from the withdrawal of foreign companies or Fortune 500 companies. For example, on August 21, 2023, a seller listed 380 Steelcase Think chairs at once, marked as 'recovered from large factories'; another batch of over 200 Think second-generation chairs was sold in bulk for 999 yuan with free shipping. This centralized replacement model results in an abundant supply of second-hand chairs and generally lower prices.

Price Range
The Think second-generation, as a mid-range ergonomic model from the brand, exhibits significant price differences based on the degree of newness and sales channels. New products are priced higher, while prices in the second-hand market are mostly one to two-tenths of the original price. For example, recently, second-hand bulk-processed Think second-generation chairs start at around 999 yuan with free shipping; there are also 90% new products sold for 1660 yuan each (with a new product reference price of 3500 yuan), representing a discount of 5.3 fold. Price fluctuations are mainly influenced by the condition, completeness of accessories, and the seller's pricing strategy.

Product Details
Taking a 90% new Think series model as an example, its material and functional design balance comfort and durability. The backrest is made of pure mesh fabric, offering strong breathability and reducing a stuffy feeling; the seat cushion features a mesh + sponge composite structure, ensuring both support and softness; the frame and footrest are made of nylon, lightweight and with strong load-bearing capacity; the footrest supports height adjustment to accommodate users of different heights; the armrests have a 4D adjustment design, allowing for forward, backward, left, right, up, down, and angular rotation to meet diverse usage scenarios.
