Office chairs come in a variety of types and can usually be categorized as an executive office chair, a desk chair or a swivel chair. Selecting a new chair requires review of where it will be used and by whom. A top executive, for instance, will require a chair with style and presence while a standard or deluxe swivel chair will better serve the needs of a receptionist. The basic desk chair is an appropriate and affordable solution in situations where chair mobility is not required. When selecting the right office chair, consider the following:
An executive office chair makes a statement, indicating who is in charge. With a higher back, padded arms, and comfortable seat, an executive office chair is often made of leather. Although the most expensive option in office chairs, the executive office chair provides hours of comfort to the user while projecting the desired image.
A basic desk chair is often stationary and can be a good option in areas of limited use. Whether in a conference room or for use only part-time, a basic desk chair may be all that is needed.
A swivel chair is perfect for a clerical person or receptionist. The ability to turn easily, or roll from one area to another, are required by a person in these positions. A swivel chair may be standard or deluxe, usually with adjustments for height, the option of armrests, and often with adjustments for seat and/or back tilt
