The Smart Way to Buy an Office Chair

A good office chair is one of the most important investments you can make for your comfort and health. But quality seating doesn’t have to mean high prices. At Office Furniture EZ, we help customers in Denver and Colorado Springs find used and refurbished office chairs that deliver premium performance at a fraction of new-retail cost.

Our showrooms carry trusted commercial brands like Steelcase, Teknion, and SitOnIt—chairs that were built to last through years of daily use and still have plenty of life left.

What to Look for in a Used Office Chair

When shopping for a used chair, keep these points in mind:

Brand and model reputation – Stick with trusted commercial manufacturers like Steelcase, Teknion, SitOnIt, or Haworth.

Adjustability – Test height, tilt, lumbar, and arm adjustments.

Mechanics – Smooth tilt, working gas lift, and stable base are must-haves.

Frame and wheels – Look for solid casters and no cracked plastic.

Parts availability – Check if replacement parts are still supported.

Upholstery condition – Light wear is fine; heavy tears or sagging may require reupholstery.

The Sniff Test – How does the chair smell? Any odors of smoke, pets, or must?

A short inspection can make sure your used chair performs like new.
