Office Chair Savings and the Price Ranges for Ergonomic Chairs

May 5th, 2008

In any business, finding your office furniture, chairs and supplies at the lowest price, is a smart business decision. Knowing how to find the chairs cheap is the first step to getting your space ready for business. Your type of business will determine your office chair quantities and needed functions. Good office chairs for your particular business do not necessarily come cheap. Shopping around and knowing the in?s and out?s of the office chair industry can really help when purchasing bulk orders of chairs for your business.

Like clothing, some chairs feature no more than a well-known brand name, a great look and a mighty hefty price tag. And also as in the clothing industry, this ?name brand? chair may be no better suited for your needs than another non-name brand chair at half the price.

Sometimes paying for a name and fancier materials doesn?t make a positive difference in comfort or the ability of your office chair. However, buying the right chair at a much lower price, can definitely make a positive difference in your pocketbook. Office chairs can range in price all the way from sixty dollars to the thousands depending on your needs and the materials you want it upholstered in.

The average ergonomic office chair, featuring good ergonomic adjustability features and comfort and built to use over long works hours, usually ranges on average from $200 to $450. There are many great office chairs in this range for the long-hours in front of the computer type of worker. Not everyone needs such an ergonomic chair, but if you have employees in your business working long hours in front of the computer, you need to be sure you get the proper ergonomic model to avoid common employee injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome or other repetitive motion injuries. Injuries can cost a company a ton of money in compensation claims.

Many more top of the line ergonomic models with adjustability and custom options are available for a higher price tag, just make sure you are not simply paying for a ?name? instead of a good chair.

For the standard task office chair or conference table chair, your company can save a ton of money by finding the lower priced and not so ergonomic models, which still offer comfort and adjustability but also offer a better price. If the chair is not used for long hours, this can be the perfect chair for your situation and the better price as well.

The standard office chair, without the extra frills and levers of a true ergonomic model, ranges in price from an average of $70 to $150, with a little more added on for things like leather, mesh etc. These chairs still feature tilt mechanisms and height adjustment in order to position the chair for different user as well.

The standard task office chairs are where most offices find the most savings as the price varies a lot from dealer to dealer and many different manufacturers make these types of chairs in different models. The upholstery is usually what changes the price so much in these lower price models with leather being the most expensive and the fabric and vinyl versions costing much less. Figure out what your business needs before shopping and you will come out with a better price and a better chair with just a little research.
