The Other Side…..

Since I talked about the big chairs before, I thought I would balance it out with a talk on… small office chairs today….

Google search terms might include: Petite chairs, small chairs, chairs for little women, etc.

Again, as with the Big and Tall chairs, there’s a lot of people out there who are not… accomodated by normal chairs, but unlike the B&T chairs, there are very very very few small chairs identified as such! When I put together the catagory of ’small chairs’ on SitBetter.com, I set out to basically find the chairs which would have a seat depth of less than 18 inches….

That was actually tough to do! But I went through our inventory, chair by chair and at least came up with a list of chairs which fit that one detail.

Now, important- smaller chairs are usually only smaller in the seat and back, they are usually not low to the ground, nor should they, because a person still needs to be at desk height. Get a footrest, you’ll find that makes a ton of difference as well!

One thing about small chairs, if you’re looking for an executive-type chair…. you’re basically SOL. They just don’t make those comfy and plush leather executive chairs for you! You’ll end up having to put a cushion on the back to support your back… ruining the great look of that chair!

Most of them are like this chair:

Well, not most, actually… they are usually the fabric task chairs, but I just like this one!

All I can say is…. look around, pay close attention to the seat depth (and even having a seat slider is no guarantee of getting it under 18″!) and ask questions!

If you have any questions, of course you can always ask me at SitBetter.com!
