Chairs that sit unused for hours and then take a stranger's full weight need a different build from a desk chair, and this pair is specified accordingly. A reinforced metal frame supports up to 330 lbs per chair, and the base is a sled rather than four separate legs, so the load spreads along two continuous rails instead of concentrating at four points where a floor can be dented and a joint can rack. Screw connections through that base are tightened to hold the geometry square. The seat and back are both cushioned with resilient sponge filling, and the seat measures 18.5 by 17 by 2.5 in at a height of 18 in, spacious enough to take a range of body sizes without anyone perching on an edge. A backrest 16 in high is contoured for support at the mid back, and padded armrests carry the arms rather than presenting a bare metal tube. The covering is PVC leather, skin-friendly against bare arms and waterproof, which is the practical requirement anywhere a spilled drink has to be wiped off rather than soaked out. Non-slip foot pads under the rails protect the floor and stop the chairs creeping out of line through the day. Each chair measures 21.5 by 23 by 32 in, the pair weighs 30 lbs, and they suit meeting rooms, reception areas and home offices. Assembly is needed.
