Office chairs for sale and what to look for
Chairs get the most use and the most complaints, so they deserve the most care. Office chairs for sale range from basic typist chairs to fully adjustable ergonomic models. For desk work, look for:
- Adjustable seat height and depth, so feet rest flat and knees are free
- Lumbar support and a backrest that tilts and locks
- Adjustable armrests that sit level with the desk
- A five-star base on castors suited to your floor
Ask for the weight rating and warranty, especially for 24-hour use in call centres or control rooms.
Desks, workstations and storage
Workstations come as single desks, clusters of two to six, or bench systems with shared cable trays and screens. Managers' desks often add a return and pedestal drawers. Boardroom tables are sized by seating, with power and data boxes set into the top. For storage, offices use steel filing cabinets, lateral filers, steel stationery cabinets and lockers. Reception desks and visitor seating complete most fit-outs. Measure the room before ordering and allow walkways of roughly a metre between rows, plus space for chairs to slide back. Ask for finish samples if desk tops and cabinets must match existing furniture. Smaller items belong under desk accessories.
New or second hand office furniture
Second hand office furniture can cost a fraction of new and is often good quality, as companies refit or downsize. It suits start-ups, temporary offices and steel cabinets that hardly wear. New furniture gives you matching ranges, full warranties and set lead times, often two to six weeks for made-to-order desks. Some suppliers sell both, so ask for prices on each. Check second hand chairs for worn gas lifts and torn upholstery, and ask whether used items carry any warranty or return period.
Delivery, installation and ergonomics
Ask whether quotes include delivery, carrying upstairs, assembly and removal of packaging, and whether old furniture can be taken away. Large fit-outs need a floor plan and, in shared buildings, a booked goods lift. South Africa's ergonomics regulations under the OHS Act expect employers to assess workstation risks, and SANS standards cover office chair and desk dimensions, so ask suppliers which standards their ranges meet. Prices for VAT-registered suppliers include 15% VAT. Larger orders are often paid by deposit and balance on delivery, or on an approved account.
What to include in your request
- List each item with quantities and sizes
- Say whether second hand is acceptable
- Attach a floor plan for larger fit-outs
- Mention stairs, lifts and access times
