Office Chairs

Commercial office chairs are built for a full working day, every working day, in an office where the same chair may be used by several people over its life. This collection holds our office chairs across task, manager's, and executive styles, plus big and tall and 24/7 intensive-use models. Most come from Office Star Products, with additional models from Boss Office Products, Eco Harmony, Regency, and Mooreco.

Choose by the work first. A receptionist who stays put, a manager who moves between the desk and meetings, and a dispatcher covering an overnight shift each need a different chair.

Task chairs

Task chairs are the everyday seat for open-plan desks, training rooms, and shared workstations. They're compact enough to tuck under a desk and adjust quickly between users. The ProGrid and Soft Frame task chairs pair a mesh back with a padded seat and come with a choice of controls: 2-to-1 synchro tilt, dual function, or multi-function. Armless versions suit tight rows and desks with low aprons. For a wider task selection, see computer and task chairs.

Manager's chairs

Manager's chairs sit between task and executive seating. They have a fuller back and more adjustment, and many add a headrest. This is the largest group in the collection, from Air Grid and ProGrid mesh backs to faux leather and bonded leather seats. Look for height-adjustable lumbar support, adjustable or flip-up arms, and a headrest if the user leans back to read or take calls. White-frame models suit a brighter, more modern office.

Executive chairs

Executive chairs are high-back seats for private offices and boardrooms, where the chair is part of how the room presents. Options include mesh executive chairs with top grain leather trim, bonded and faux leather high-back and mid-back chairs, and traditional and wingback styles in Caressoft vinyl. The Townsend executive chair is upholstered in top grain leather to match traditional casegoods. Browse the full range in executive and managerial chairs and leather office chairs.

Big and tall and 24/7 chairs

Big and tall chairs have a wider seat and a reinforced frame and base. Most of the big and tall models here are rated to 400 lbs, and one is rated to 350 lbs, so check the product page for the exact capacity. The 24/7 High Intensity Use and Multi-Shift chairs are built for security desks, dispatch centers, and other posts where one chair is in use around the clock. All of these are in big and tall office chairs.

Upholstery: mesh, fabric, and antimicrobial

Mesh backs breathe, which matters in a warm room or on a long shift. Padded fabric and leather seats feel softer at first sitting. Many chairs here offer Dillon fabric treated with Silver Ion Technology, which protects the fabric from mold, mildew, and odor, and a few use antimicrobial vinyl that is easy to wipe down. These are a sensible choice for shared desks, healthcare front offices, and schools. See every option in antimicrobial seating and mesh office chairs.

Guest and conference seating

The collection also includes ProGrid visitor's chairs with sled bases and a leather conference chair for meeting rooms. For lobbies and waiting areas, see reception and guest chairs. To pair chairs with a matching table, browse our conference tables.

Buying for a whole office

Ordering 20 chairs is a different job from ordering one. Standardize on one or two models so replacement parts and adjustments stay consistent, and choose seat fabric for the room's cleaning routine. NextGen Furniture offers wholesale pricing on volume orders and free space planning, so chair counts can be worked out alongside the office desks they will sit at.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a task chair and an executive chair?

A task chair is compact and built for quick adjustment at a working desk. An executive chair has a higher, fuller back, often leather or premium upholstery, and is sized for a private office. Manager's chairs fall between the two.

What does 2-to-1 synchro tilt mean?

The seat tilts back at about half the rate of the backrest. Your feet stay on the floor and your thighs stay supported while you recline.

How much weight can a big and tall office chair hold?

Most big and tall chairs in this collection are rated to 400 lbs. Capacity varies by model, so confirm it on the individual product page.

Which office chairs are easiest to clean?

Antimicrobial vinyl seats wipe down easily, and Dillon fabric with Silver Ion Technology resists mold, mildew, and odor. Follow the cleaning guidance on each product page for the specific upholstery.
