Our office chairs and seating range covers everything from task chairs used for a full working day to visitor chairs someone sits in for twenty minutes. It serves Irish offices, home workers and meeting rooms alike, and the key to choosing well is matching each chair to the number of hours it will actually be used.
Start with how long someone will sit
A chair someone uses all day needs plenty of adjustment, good support for the lower back and a mechanism that follows their movement. For a half-hour meeting, none of that is necessary, and the budget is better spent elsewhere in the office.
Mesh, fabric or leather
Which back material you choose comes down mainly to how warm the chair feels and how it looks.
- Mesh lets air move across your back, which is why it has become the go-to for task seating in warm open plan offices. See all mesh office chairs.
- Fabric is warmer, looks quieter in a room and is our widest range.
- Leather looks formal and cleans up with a quick wipe, so it remains a favourite for boardrooms and client facing offices.
Common mistakes to avoid
Buying one model for the whole office rarely works. Staff who sit at their desks for the whole day need something quite different from a meeting room that gets used once or twice a week, and a single choice tends to be too much for one and too little for the other.
Weight ratings matter too. Standard chairs are designed for typical use, so seating used across several shifts or by heavier users can wear out early. Our heavy duty chairs have stronger gas lifts and reinforced frames for this kind of use.
Flexible rooms and repairs
Training rooms, canteens and event spaces are easier to run with stacking chairs, though check the stacked height against your storage cupboard before ordering a large number. If a chair has stopped rolling smoothly or will not hold its height, look at our chair spares and parts before replacing it. Castor fittings differ between ranges, so measure the stem diameter first.
