How to choose a chair for your home office

With so many desk chair styles to choose from, finding the right addition to your home office that’s comfortable, supportive, and stylish can be a bit of a challenge. Fortunately, shops on Etsy have designed, handcrafted, and curated collections of all different kinds of office chairs . As you evaluate your options, keep these factors in mind to ensure the right fit: Height: Some office desk chairs are adjustable and often raise and lower with a simple lever. Other styles may be a fixed height. To determine the right seat height for your desk chair, it can be helpful to grab another chair you have handy and place it at your desk. If the height of that chair feels comfortable for typing and working, measure the distance from the floor to the seat. This gives you a good idea of the right height for your office chair. Movement: Next, consider if you’d like your chair to swivel or remain stationery. If you have multiple screens or work surfaces, a swivel chair makes it easy to shift the angle of your body from one focus area to another. A desk chair with wheels makes it easy to move your chair in or out from the desk. Arms: Desk chairs with arms feature a spot for you to rest your elbows, but be sure to measure the height of your office desk to ensure the chair will fit under the desk. Some arms are adjustable and can be lowered if they’re a bit too high to fit under your desktop. Material: Breathable fabrics (like rattan or mesh) can keep your back cool throughout the day. Suede and velvet chairs, on the other hand, may be a bit warmer and could stain if they come in contact with liquid.

"Lovely chairs and very quick delivery!"

"Could not have asked for a better experience. The chair itself is WONDERFUL - such great quality, and really good for anyone with back issues. I also really love that it easily can be tucked under a desk and off the floor (makes it easier to vacuum, and is just generally out of the way when I use my standing desk). Plus, as others have said, the customer service was exceptional. I asked if it might be possible for the chair to be shipped sooner - as I really needed it with my back issues - and not only did I get a prompt response but somehow it arrived sooner than plenty of other sellers who ship locally and this was coming from abroad. Thank you, again!!"

"Bought this chair for use at my desk top computer in my home. I particularly chose tubular steel frame because it would slide across my carpet more easily - which it does - without leaving indents in the carpet. It is very comfortable & supporting to the back. I am a short person, so fits my frame perfectly, but not restrictive for taller people."

Whether it’s your full-time home office or a small corner desk that gets occasional use, the desk chair you select can make a big impact on the overall aesthetic of your space. Even functional, supportive chairs can blend with your decor aesthetic when you select the finishes and work with a small shop on Etsy to handcraft a fine piece of furniture for your home.

Depending on the construction, a wooden office chair works well in traditional, farmhouse, and modern spaces. Some wooden desk chairs feature an upholstered seat or back, and this fabric choice can be changed to match your interior design.

Vintage, mid-century modern office chairs are a perfect example. Typically designed with minimal, clean lines that highlight the natural beauty of the wood, these chairs often feature an upholstered seat and back panel. Because they’re one-of-a-kind pieces, Etsy sellers can provide as much information as they know about the original finish and fabric. Or, shop for a vintage-inspired office chair and select your own design options.

Chairs featuring tall backs and additional lumbar support can be both comfortable and stylish. When you shop for a desk chair on Etsy, sellers handcraft a piece just for you and you’re often able to select different metals, paint colors, and fabric choices depending on the design of the chair.
