Office Chairs
Investing in quality will ensure the longest possible lifespan for your office chair. However, the amount of use the chair gets will also impact how long it lasts. A high-quality desk chair can last 10 years or longer, while a more basic task chair might last only a few years if it's used daily for long periods of time.
You might compare the price of office and desk chairs to the price of dining chairs or accent chairs and wonder why there’s such a difference. Chairs are chairs, right?
Even though comfortable office chairs may cost more than dining chairs or be close in price to accent chairs remember that office chairs are designed to withstand a different kind of use. They have mechanisms to make them adjustable that other chairs typically don’t have, and they’re usually on wheels with swivel capabilities. The daily wear that desk chairs must be able to hold up against and the special features they have often make them more costly, but I’ve got you covered with affordable, everyday prices you can feel good about!
The best way to protect your hardwood floors from the plastic wheels of a rolling chair is to simply put down an area rug. This quick fix not only solves your problem, it looks great too! It’s an especially useful solution if you have a large area to cover or if your home office is lacking in the décor department anyways.
