Manufacturers Chair Dimensions

10 years ago

I am not tall or overweight. I like simple armless office chairs. Several months
ago I injured my knee. Standing or walking is really not a problem, however I
need support under my knee when I'm sitting.

Overstock.com has an unusual armless chair, that might offer the support I need.
They list the seat depth at 20 inches, which not common for an armless chair.

It has the usual heavy steel brace supporting the backrest. Here's my question.
Is the manufacturer giving you the true seat depth? If the seat was measured
by itself without the rest of the chair, would the depth still be 20 inches?

It crossed my mind that the manufacturer may be measuring from the steel
brace to the front edge of the chair. If true, the actual seat depth would not
be 20 inches. Do you know if the listed dimensions with this type of chair are
accurate?

The description has provided you with the overall dimensions and then the seat dimensions. That would be the size of the seat itself.

There is nothing unusual about this mid backed talk chair design or the price Overstock is charging for it. It swivels and raises and lowers, but it does NOT tilt, because it has no arms.

If I had a specific ailment that I wanted to make sure the chair would not make worse over time, I would make my selection from a local big chain supplier, like OfficeMax, Office Depot or Staples, so that in the event the chair didn't work out, I could easily exchange it for another.

I've attached the chair I purchased from OfficeMax. The seat dimension depth is listed as 19 1/4" and that is the size exactly. I purchased it when it was on sale, used a coupon and only paid $99 for it. It is extremely comfortable and the arms do not get it the way. The arms allow me to relax and tilt back in the chair when I need to take a break from the computer.

I would think in this case it is the actualy depth of the seat and not back to the metal brace.
