Home-office chairs: compare support, size and adjustment
Measurements and adjustment ranges are more useful than labels such as ergonomic when choosing a chair online.
Online chair listings can look similar while differing substantially in seat height, depth and adjustment range. Measure the desk height and the space available, then compare those measurements with the chair specification.
Useful decision points
- Seat-height range and whether feet can rest flat
- Seat depth, width and stated user-weight range
- Lumbar support and armrest adjustment
- Floor type and the supplied castors
- Assembly, warranty, spare parts and return arrangements
A chair is a fit decision as much as a feature decision. Keep packaging until the size and adjustment range have been tested, and confirm return costs for large items before ordering.
