Swivel Chairs

The Different Features of Swivel Chairs

Swivel office chairs come in as many shapes, sizes and features as regular office chairs. The one thing that differentiates a swivel chair is it's ability to turn and face multiple directions. This is useful when switching between a computer screen and a client, different areas of an L-shape desk or just another part of your workspace in general. The types of features are important to know when choosing your perfect swivel chair because being able to work comfortably is partly dependent on the functionality that you'll need your desk chair to have on a daily basis.

Not all office chair bases are created equal. Materials can include chrome or heavy duty plastic. It's also typical for office chairs to have wheels but by no means the standard. Swivel chairs do not need to have wheels to rotate. Bases can be flat and round, have casters or stoppers, include a certain number of wheel or legs, etc. The aesthetic and functionality you want in a swivel chair will always include the base.

The type of seat your swivel chair has could improve comfortability. Swivel barrel chairs, round seat chairs, and swivel arm chairs are a few seat types. The typical office chair has a mesh back and ergonomic design, but leather and vinyl high-back and padded seat swivel chairs are possibilities as well. Swivel chairs can have arms or have an armless design. Fully adjustable seating elements like height adjustable seat and seat tilt are some of the most common.

When buying an office chair, check all of the features, focus on what you will need on a daily basis and take stock of the overall style of seat and base. If you need help choosing the right swivel chair call our sales team at (608) 413-2642 or click-and-ship!
