Office Chairs and Workplace Seating Brochure
Browse the Office Stock office chairs brochure to compare task chairs, executive chairs, mesh office chairs, visitor seating, conference chairs, operator chairs and specialist seating for South African workplaces.
The right office chair should suit the person using it, the work being performed and the amount of time spent seated. Chair dimensions, adjustment, back height, upholstery, armrests, base type and intended use should therefore be considered before an order is placed.
Use this digital brochure to shortlist seating for individual workstations, executive offices, reception areas, boardrooms, meeting rooms, training facilities, call centres, operational workplaces and home offices.
Make a note of the chair name, product code or brochure page number for any model that interests you. Office Stock can then confirm current specifications, available finishes, pricing, availability and estimated lead times.

Explore Different Types of Office Chairs
Office chairs are designed for different users, rooms and periods of use. A chair used throughout the working day should not be selected in the same way as an occasional visitor chair, stacker chair or boardroom chair.
Use the brochure to compare designs, then browse the relevant Office Stock categories for current online products and additional information.
Task and Operator Office Chairs
Task and operator chairs are intended for general workstation use in administrative offices, customer-service departments, call centres, professional practices and home offices.
Compare the available adjustment, seat dimensions, back support, arm options, base type and castors. The chair should also fit beneath or beside the selected desk without restricting movement.
Browse operator chairs, typist chairs and the complete office chairs collection.
Executive Office Chairs
Executive chairs are commonly selected for management offices, boardrooms and client-facing spaces where a taller back, substantial design or particular upholstery is preferred.
Appearance should be considered alongside the intended user, expected sitting time, chair dimensions and available adjustment. A larger chair must also fit comfortably behind the desk and within the room.
Browse current executive office chairs and big and tall office chairs .
Mesh Office Chairs
Mesh-backed chairs are popular in computer-based workplaces and warmer offices because the backrest construction can provide more airflow than a fully upholstered back.
Mesh alone does not determine whether a chair is suitable. Compare seat dimensions, back height, adjustment, armrests, mechanism and the needs of the person who will use it.
Explore the mesh office chairs collection for high-back, medium-back, visitor, operator and draughtsman options.
High-Back Office Chairs
High-back chairs can suit employees and managers who prefer a taller backrest or a chair with a more substantial visual presence.
Check the complete chair dimensions and adjustment features rather than relying only on the high-back description. Backrest shape, seat size and mechanism differ between models.
Browse high-back office chairs for current options.
Medium-Back Office Chairs
Medium-back chairs can provide a practical seating option for general workstations, meeting spaces, smaller offices and users who do not require a taller backrest.
Compare adjustment, seat dimensions, arm options and intended use. Some medium-back models are designed for regular desk work, while others are intended primarily for meetings or occasional use.
Explore medium-back office chairs online.
Custom Upholstered Office Chairs
Upholstered chair ranges can offer a choice of fabrics, colours, back heights, arm options and configurations for coordinated workplace interiors.
Where several chairs must match, confirm the upholstery name, colour, availability and applicable lead time before the order is placed.
Browse custom upholstered office chairs for further options.
Visitor Office Chairs
Visitor chairs can be used in private offices, consultation rooms, reception areas, interview rooms and informal meeting spaces.
Select visitor seating according to the available floor space, expected frequency of use, arm requirements, frame type and the furniture already used in the room.
Browse visitor office chairs for upholstered, mesh and executive-style options.
Conference and Stacker Chairs
Conference and stacker chairs can suit boardrooms, meeting rooms, training facilities, seminar spaces and multipurpose venues.
Where chairs will be moved frequently, consider product weight, stacking capability, storage requirements and whether a chair trolley is needed.
Explore conference and stacker chairs and stacker chairs.
Draughtsman and Counter Chairs
Draughtsman and counter-height chairs are designed for elevated work surfaces such as drawing desks, laboratory benches, service counters, cashier stations and selected technical workstations.
Confirm the work-surface height, footring, seat-height range, castors or glides and the amount of space available beneath the counter.
Browse draughtsman chairs for current products.
Office Seating for Different Workplace Environments
Chair selection should reflect the way each room is used. A workplace may require several types of seating rather than one chair model for every employee, visitor and meeting space.
Corporate and Administrative Offices
Corporate departments and administrative teams may need adjustable task chairs for daily work, executive seating for management, visitor chairs for private offices and conference chairs for meeting rooms.
Standardising a manageable selection of chair models can simplify future purchasing, employee moves and replacement orders.
Call Centres and Shared-Service Teams
Call centres and shared-service operations often have several employees using workstations for extended periods or across different shifts.
Chairs should be selected with different users, adjustment, workstation spacing and daily traffic in mind. Allow sufficient room for chairs to move without colliding with adjacent workstations.
Executive and Management Offices
Management offices may require an executive chair for the primary user and matching or complementary visitor chairs for discussions and client meetings.
Confirm that the chair dimensions suit the desk height, room layout and space available behind the workstation.
Boardrooms and Meeting Rooms
Meeting-room chairs should suit the table height, expected meeting duration, room size and level of formality.
Allow enough space for participants to move their chairs and enter or leave the room without disturbing everyone seated around the table.
Browse boardroom tables to coordinate chairs with suitable meeting furniture.
Reception and Consultation Areas
Reception and consultation spaces may require visitor chairs, public seating or soft seating rather than wheeled office chairs.
Consider the expected number of visitors, available floor area and whether the chairs will be moved frequently.
Browse reception desks, public seating and soft seating for complementary products.
Home Offices and Hybrid Workspaces
A home office chair should be selected according to how often the workspace is used. A full-time remote employee generally has different seating requirements from someone using a desk occasionally for household administration.
Measure the room and desk carefully, especially where the workspace is located in a spare room, bedroom or shared living area.
Browse home office furniture for desks, chairs and storage.
Training Rooms and Educational Facilities
Training rooms may require conference or stacker chairs that can be rearranged or stored when the space is used for different activities.
Consider aisle widths, presentation sightlines, table height, stacking requirements and the number of chairs that must be stored.
Browse training-room furniture for suitable tables and related products.
Industrial and Technical Workplaces
Workshops, laboratories, counters and technical offices may require operator, typist, draughtsman or industrial seating rather than a conventional executive chair.
Select chairs according to work-surface height, floor conditions, cleaning requirements and whether castors, glides or a footring are appropriate.
Hospitality and Customer-Facing Businesses
Hotels, conference venues and customer-service businesses may need office chairs for administrative employees together with visitor, conference, dining or reception seating.
Office and hospitality furniture can be included in one coordinated quotation.
How to Choose the Right Office Chair
- Identify the intended user. Consider the user’s approximate height, build and the amount of room needed to sit and move comfortably.
- Estimate the daily sitting time. A chair used throughout the working day generally requires more adjustment and support than a visitor or occasional-use chair.
- Check the listed chair dimensions. Review the seat width, seat depth, back height, overall width and overall height before ordering.
- Confirm the seat-height range. The chair should allow the user to work comfortably at the selected desk or work surface.
- Compare the backrest. Review the back height, shape, material and any available adjustment. Do not choose a chair only because it is described as high-back or medium-back.
- Review the mechanism. Different chairs may offer basic height adjustment, swivel, recline, tilt, tension control, back adjustment or synchronised movement.
- Choose suitable armrests. Fixed, adjustable or no-arm configurations may suit different desks, users and working environments.
- Check the base and castors. Confirm the base material, number of points and whether the supplied castors or glides suit the intended floor and use.
- Select practical upholstery. Compare mesh, fabric, vinyl, polyurethane, leather and other materials according to appearance, maintenance and daily traffic.
- Confirm the specified user rating. Where a chair has a stated weight or usage rating, ensure that it suits the intended user and working environment.
- Measure the workstation. Confirm that the chair fits beneath or beside the desk and that there is enough space behind it for movement.
- Review the current product information. Specifications differ between models and may change. Confirm the details of the exact chair being ordered.
Customers with a medical condition, injury or specialist clinical requirement should seek advice from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional. Office Stock can explain published product specifications but does not provide medical diagnoses or treatment recommendations.
Office Chair Features to Compare
Product features differ significantly between chair models. Confirm which functions are included with the exact chair rather than assuming that every office chair offers the same adjustment.
Seat-Height Adjustment
A gas-height mechanism allows the seat height to be changed within the chair’s specified range. Confirm that the range suits the user and work-surface height.
Backrest Height and Shape
High-back, medium-back and lower-back designs provide different levels of coverage. Backrest shape and dimensions vary between products.
Tilt and Recline
Some chairs provide a basic swivel-and-tilt mechanism, while others include more advanced recline or synchronised movement. Review the exact product specification.
Armrests
Armrests may be fixed, height adjustable, multi-adjustable or optional. Check whether they fit beneath the desk and provide enough room for the user.
Seat Dimensions
Seat width and depth influence how the user fits into the chair. Compare the published dimensions rather than relying only on a product photograph.
Base, Castors and Glides
Bases may be made from nylon, aluminium, steel or other materials. Castors and glides should be selected for the intended floor, mobility and workplace use.
Coordinate Office Chairs with the Rest of the Workspace
Chairs should be planned with desks, tables, storage and circulation space. Selecting seating without considering the surrounding furniture can result in chairs that do not fit the room or work surface.
Office Desks
Confirm desk height, knee space, return positions and storage before choosing the chair. Armrests and wider chair bases may prevent some chairs from fitting fully beneath a desk.
Browse office desks or view the Office Desking Brochure .
Boardroom Tables
Boardroom chairs should suit the table height and leave sufficient circulation space around the meeting room.
Browse boardroom tables or view the Boardroom Tables Brochure .
Reception Furniture
Reception employees may need adjustable task seating, while visitors may require individual visitor chairs, linked public seating or soft seating.
Browse reception desks or view the Reception Counters Brochure .
Training Tables
Training-room chairs should fit beneath the tables and allow sufficient space between rows. Stackable seating can simplify room changes and storage.
Browse training-room furniture .
Office Storage
Filing cabinets, pedestals and cupboards should be positioned so that drawers and doors can open without colliding with office chairs.
Browse office storage and desk pedestals.
Chair Parts and Accessories
Replacement mechanisms, gas cylinders, bases, castors and other chair components may be available for selected products. Confirm compatibility before ordering a replacement part.
