Office chairs
Where we started in 1990, and still the largest part of the floor. Mesh task chairs, fabric operators and high-back executive seating — the everyday work chairs that move by the container.
The back and the gas lift are where an office chair earns its keep, so that is where we spend. On a mesh task chair the lift sets the daily feel: we run an SGS-pattern Class 3 for normal eight-hour desks and push buyers to Class 4 for anything used in shifts. The mesh itself we spec by weight — around 240–280 g/m² for a back that holds shape rather than bagging out after a season.
Honest trade-off on the base. A reinforced-nylon five-star base is the cheapest and is genuinely fine for home and light office use. For a chair that sits under someone all day in a call centre, we steer you to polished die-cast aluminium — it costs a little more per unit, but it is the part that stops the cracked-base warranty claims that quietly eat your margin in year two.

These are typical build options, not a fixed datasheet — send your market, room and target price and we'll confirm what we'd actually quote, including the choices we'd talk you out of.
Tell us the room — we'll quote the seat that fits it
An office floor, a 300-seat hall or a care home reads very differently on a quote. Send the use case, quantities and market; if a job isn't a fit for us, we'll say so rather than burn your sampling budget.
