Is Your Swivel Chair Comfortable

The swivel chair appears mostly in people’s working places. Because it can be rotated freely and smoothly that allows the person seated to easily turn from one direction to another and people can move to the adjacent seat to discuss business with colleagues without getting off their seats. These chairs often have a swivel base to allow easier movement among different projects or areas of the room. The first swivel chair in the history was invented by Thomas Jefferson at about the same time that he signed the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson liked the chair because it “had the miraculous quality of allowing a person seated in it to turn his head without moving his tail.” After long time development, it serves as a popular type of modern office chairs and is more complicated in design and selection.

Before selecting, make sure that which kind of swivel chair you need. The types are classified according to their applicable places, ranging from office, kitchen, dining room and outdoors. The swivel office chair is one of the most common types of swivel chairs. Often, it has wheels on the bottom–making it mobile to move easily around a room–and can be seen in cubicles, home offices and conference rooms. The style of the chair should be in line with the decoration style of the room. Think about if it is modern, rustic, classical or traditional and be sure that the chair can fit into the room visually.

After making sure about the type and style, a measurement of the chair’s width and height is necessary. For instance, the height of the chair depends on the size of the desk. And compare the width of the opening to the width of the potential chairs, for almost everyone will like the chair to fit in the opening when it’s not in use.

Next comes to the material. There are various kinds for people to choose in today’s market, including wood, fabric, leather and upholstered chairs. And the options of the color and pattern vary depending on the material you choose. The chair pattern will be better if it complements the rest of the room without competing for attention. In this part, consider the use and personal preference.

The last step of selection is to have a personal experience of the chair. Sit in each potential swivel chair to test its comfort and construction. Check the swivel base feature to make sure it turns smoothly and easily. Make sure it feels sturdy and durable when you sit in the chair.
