Evaluate more than appearance
The best seating choice depends on the user and the use.
- User range, task duration, posture, adjustability, and intended use
- Dimensions, arms, base, mobility, stacking, nesting, and floor conditions
- Textile, vinyl, leather, mesh, finish, cleanability, and maintenance
- Weight ratings, standards, warranty, replacement parts, budget, and lead time
- Delivery, assembly, placement, adjustment, and continuing support
