Office Chairs - INACTIVE

By Dylan Mazeika

Your employees spend a lot of time in their office desk chairs. It's the one item used more often than their telephones, or fax machines. When looking to buy or replace this essential piece of equipment, you want to find the best office chair manufacturer.

A Seat for Everyone

With so many office chair choices available, it's important to be familiar with the functions and features that are available. Office desk chairs come in a variety of styles, makes, and models. Depending on the needs of your employees, and the time they will spend in their office chair, you can choose the features that apply. We have listed the following for you:

• Multishift/Adjustable: Your staff, most likely, spends the bulk of their workday sitting at a computer workstation. An adjustable chair with built-in back supports and seat angle adjustment is a smart choice for this situation. Task chairs are a specialized version of this popular chair, and are available from most reliable office chair manufacturers.
• Executive: Your high-ranking employees with private offices and larger desks, are going to require a larger chair. Office chair manufacturers specialize in executive chairs that feature a taller back. The executive chair is ideal for managers and supervisors.
• Guest Chairs: Some employees need to engage in inter office meetings, and have the need for a guest chair. Generally, a guest chair is designed without wheels and is intended for short term use. A reliable guest chair should provide comfort, function, and be relatively lightweight. Most reliable office chair manufacturers will provide a guest chair style to complement their line of adjustable chairs.
• Kneeling Chairs: Employees can develop bad backs on occasion, especially those who spend hours hunched over a workstation. Designed to promote good posture, kneeling chairs enable your employees to keep their backs straight while sitting, with added knee support.
• Stools: Office stools are becoming more common in the workplace. These functional seating accessories are positioned for higher counter seating and a great alternative to the traditional desk chair.
