Some Helpful Information On Leather Office Chairs

By Melvin Sentrovski

When walking into an office for the first time, or the hundredth time, an office outfitted with a leather office chair makes an impression. There are many different office chairs on the market and in use in offices.

Those in lower level or more active positions tend to have chairs that are fabric-backed. Those in mid-level management often favor bigger, more comfortable manager's chairs. Employees who are specialists tend to have high-backed or ergonomic chairs. But those on top? That's where you'll see leather office chairs.

Decades ago the leather office chair was a status symbol that people took great pride in, and that tradition continues today. However, with better processes and marketing, leather office chairs have come down greatly in price. On any given Sunday you can usually find several leather office chairs on sale at different stores.

Therefore, give possessing your own leather office chair a little more thought. The different varieties of leather office chairs may astound you, and you may have to research exactly what kind of brand or leather type you want.

Of course, major, well-known brand names like Mayline, Hon and Boss will be priced higher than a lesser known brand. You are paying for the name, and for the extra quality and reputation that having the name infers about the chair. Be sure to check out a number of reviews to see that experiences other people have had with the model you are looking to purchase. Many manufacturers have good warranties and generous guarantees.

You will also quickly realize that there is a large variety in the color, shine and grade of the leather used in the different chairs. You can get leather in almost any color, from a high gloss finish to a matte finish, all depending on your personal taste.

The lowest priced items most likely to be made from bonded or bycast leather. This can bring the price down considerable and are worth a look. Bonded leather is manufactured from reconstituted leather fibers. Bycast leather is split leather which is sealed and pressed into sheets which achieve the look of natural leather. It is easier to clean but often less supple than other leather products. - 16890
