7 Facts About Office Chairs That Might Surprise You
In many ways, we are living in the Age of the Chair. It is the most prevalent and widely used type of furniture in today’s culture. They’re practically everywhere at home, at work, in supermarkets and shopping centers.
A seat with a back that is designed for one person is called a chair.
Its components include a seat, a back, four legs (typically) supporting the seat, and occasionally armrests.
The designs of chairs differ. An armchair has armrests that are fixed to the seat; a recliner is covered and has a mechanism that allows the back to be lowered and a fold-out footrest to be raised; a rocking chair has legs that are attached to two long, curved slats.
