It`s likely that sometimes companies have chairs that were acquired only because of the price and not the qualities and functions that they can provide to people. It also happens that the furniture has had a long time of use and instead of being functional they become a real hindrance. In both cases, it`s evident that new furniture is required. However, we do not always have the specific knowledge for the moment of purchase. Join us in this blog to know the important aspects that should be considered for the purchase of an operational chair.    #### **What should you consider to buy an operational chair?** First of all, it`s necessary to verify that the furniture you already have needs to be changed. Once you have completed this step, you should start searching for the chair (s) that fit in your office. The next step is to determine the economic situation of the company and the availability of budget for furniture purchase; if you do not have the necessary resources you should postpone the search. #### **Characteristics of a good operating chair** #### **Back** When employees maintain a healthy physical state, productivity increases considerably and the risk of absenteeism due to chronic pain or illness, caused by furniture in poor condition, decreases. The support of the operating chair must respond to the demands that people have. A backrest that is adjustable in height, mobility with a suitable width and a tension adjustment will give better comfort to the worker. The material with which it`s made is also important, breathable fabrics and upholstery are common in quality operational chairs. #### **Base** The basic criterion for the base of an operating chair is that it has a minimum of 4 points, these will give better stability and mobility to the chair when it is moved from one place to another using the wheels. #### **Seat** The material of the seat has to be extremely cool due to the heat caused by the human body, also, the sponginess and the thickness of the material are important points to take into account. If the chair has arms, it`s necessary that their height is adjustable. #### **Warranty** All the technical criteria and functions are important, but it`s also necessary to verify the warranty offered by the company when you purchase your chairs. It`s necessary that your provider assures and supports you if, at any time, you have a problem with the furniture. There are even companies that respond to defects and emergencies for life. These are some of the basic criteria for acquiring operating chairs, remember that these usually have a greater use than others and, therefore, they need to be of excellent quality.
