More Thoughts on Why Quality Office Chairs Cost More
In a recent Blog post I wrote an article “Why Are Some Office Chairs So Expensive?” Following on from this I subsequently came across this great interview Josh Mings of www.SolidSmack.com had with the design team at Steelcase showing just what goes into the planning and development of quality office seating.
It shows how Steelcase developed the Leap chair, initially using 3D CAD modeling but ultimately physical modeling at real life size was the answer to getting things right.
This photo shows one of the test set ups which allowed the shape and action of the chair’s back to be tested. Further special test rigs were set up to actually test what they expected to happen did so in reality.
In all Steelcase spent 4 years developing the Leap chair partnering with 4 universities as well as input from 27 scientists and 11 individual studies with over 700 testers.
All this costs a lot of money and helps explain why better quality seating costs so much.

Expensive chairs are kind of a mixed bag. I’ve come to believe the value is all on where the money is put. The result of the extra modeling and whatnot should be casters that roll smoothly, height adjustment that is easy to use rather than stuttering up and down, and overall chair stability. You do get what you pay for in these things. A $50 chair will be gimp in some fashion within a matter of months of regular office sitting
Unfortunately, sometimes the money is wasted on things like fancy marketing and the world’s most advanced adjustable lumbar system. As much as lumbar support has become the standard of the ergo industry, it’s largely a non-issue when chairs are built to wider hip angles than the standard 90 degrees.
