Ergonomic office chairs, part by part
Ergonomic office chairs only work when they are set to the person in them. Here is what each adjustment does and how it should be set, so you know what to look for before you buy and how to fit the chair on day one.
01 Seat height
Start here, because every other setting depends on it. Raise or lower the seat until your feet rest flat on the floor and your knees bend at about 90 degrees, with your thighs roughly level and your hips even with or a touch above your knees.
When you’re buying: Ask for the height range and try it against your shortest and tallest people, not an average one.
02 Seat depth
Sit all the way back. You want roughly two to four fingers of space between the front edge of the seat and the back of your knees. Too deep and you perch forward, away from the backrest. Too shallow and your thighs aren’t supported.
When you’re buying: A sliding seat matters most when several people share chairs or you are buying one model for the whole team.
03 Lumbar
Your lower back curves inward just above the belt line. Good lumbar support fills that curve so you are not slumping into a C-shape by mid-afternoon. It should feel like light, even pressure, not a bump pushing you forward.
When you’re buying: Sit back for a full minute. If you can feel a gap behind your lower back, the support is in the wrong place or not adjustable enough.
04 Armrests
Armrests should meet your forearms with your shoulders relaxed and elbows near 90 degrees. Set too high, they hike your shoulders up. Too low, and you lean to one side. They also need to drop low enough to slide under the desk.
When you’re buying: Height-adjustable arms are the minimum. Width and pivot help too. Measure your desk height before you order.
05 Tilt & recline
A chair that lets you recline a little shifts load off your spine through the day. Tension should match your body weight so the back follows you and pushes back gently. Many task chairs use a synchro-tilt, where the back reclines further than the seat tips.
When you’re buying: Lean back hard. The motion should be smooth and quiet, and the tension knob easy to reach while seated.
06 Base & casters
A five-star base is the standard for a reason: it resists tipping when you lean or reach. Then match the casters to the floor. Hard casters roll well on carpet. On hard floors, soft or rubber-tread casters grip better and are kinder to the surface.
When you’re buying: Check the manufacturer’s weight rating and tell us your flooring so we can recommend the right casters.
New office seating, by job
Most offices need more than one kind of chair. Start with where it goes and how long people sit in it, then pick the type. We carry new office chairs in every category below.
Pete’s Panels install Best for Desks, workstations, call centers
The chair someone sits in for a full day. Task chairs carry the most adjustment, so they fit the widest range of people, and they take the most wear. For shift work and shared desks, durability and easy controls matter as much as comfort.
Best for Private offices, leadership
Higher backs, more cushioning, and finishes like leather or fine upholstery that suit a private office where clients sit across the desk. A good executive chair still has to adjust like a task chair. Looks are the bonus, not the point.
Best for Meeting and board rooms
Meetings run long, so comfort still counts, but conference seating also has to look tidy in a row and move easily around the table. Mid-height backs, a simple tilt and arms that clear the tabletop are the usual recipe.
Best for Reception, waiting rooms
Side chairs and waiting-room seating get short visits from many people. They need to be sturdy, easy to clean and good-looking from the front door. In medical and healthcare settings, easy-to-clean materials come first.
A chair is only as good as the desk it pulls up to. If you are fitting out a whole floor, we can plan the seating with the workstations, from new desks and cubicles to the layout itself with space planning. Furnishing on a tighter budget? We also stock used office chairs and furniture.
Before you buy
Whenever you get to sit in a chair you are considering, run through this list. Tick each one off as you go. A chair that passes all eight is worth a second look before you order new office chairs for everyone.
Not sure which chairs to shortlist? Call Denver at (303) 420-9403 or Austin at (512) 617-8640 and we can recommend seating that matches your space, your people and your budget.
Upholstery
The frame decides how a chair adjusts. The cover decides how it feels at 4 p.m., how it cleans, and how it looks. Here are the general trade-offs. For healthcare and other settings with cleaning standards, we can point you to easy-to-clean and antimicrobial options.
Breathes best
Best for Task chairs in warm rooms and for people who run hot.
Softest sit
Best for Most offices. The easiest place to match a color scheme.
Wipes clean
Best for Executive offices, board rooms, and seating that gets wiped down often.
General guidance. Every maker’s mesh, fabric and leather grades differ, so compare the actual chair.
Buying in bulk
Buying new office chairs for twenty people is a different job from buying one. The goal is a short list of chairs that fits everyone and is simple to order, set up and add to later.
A task chair for every desk, conference chairs for every table, guest seating for reception, and a few spares for new hires and visitors.
One or two models with wide adjustment ranges are simpler to buy, service and add to later. A seat slider and adjustable lumbar cover the most body types.
Before you order forty, have your shortest and tallest people run the sit test above. If it fits both, it will fit most of the team.
Check arm clearance under your desks and pick casters for your flooring. Buying new desks too? Plan them together, or start with space planning.
Our crew handles delivery and installation: chairs assembled to manufacturer specifications, placed on your plan, and the packaging hauled away.
Quality used chairs can earn a buy-back offer through office liquidation, and we clear the rest.

“We had a very short time line in order to get our used cubical panels cleaned. Aaron was very professional to work with. He squeezed us into the schedule. When an emergency came up, he communicated quickly, and rescheduled his crews come in over the weekend so that we could still make our deadline. It is a great company to work with!”
