Plan on "kicking the tires" before you make a final decision. You are probably going to have to get some "seat
time" in the actual chair you think you want before you buy your chair. If you are buying a well known name like
Herman Miller or Steelcase for instance, then you have a good idea of what to expect, and maybe you won’t have to
sit in the chair before you buy it. But if you don’t know the chair and the manufacturer, you must first sit in
your black leather chair to make an informed buying decision. Once you know the specific make and model of chair
that you are want, then come back online and shop around to find the best bargains. With the thousands of black
leather chairs available online you are sure to find one that meets your needs at an attractive price.
Black Leather Chair - Tips to finding the right leather
chair
Depending on the style of black leather chairs you are shopping for you will find a number of different options
and different designs. To be happy wiht your chair there are a few things that you need to check no matter what the
design or latest fashion:
· Too soft - although the
seat might feel nice and cushy when you first sit down, if you want a leather chair that is going to be
comfortable for more than thirty minutes - it needs to be firm to provide support. There are a variety of
fills used in chair cushions from feathers to fiber and foam. A good rule of thumb is that the cushion
shouldn’t sink more than 10 cm when you sit on it.
· Too deep - the seat should
have sufficient width and depth to comfortably support you, usually about 17-20 inches in width. It
should not be deeper than your thigh; your buttock should be against the rear of the seat and your feet
on the ground at the same time to provide your body with proper support while leaving approximately 2 to
4 inches between the back of your knees and the seat of your leather chair.
· Proper Angle - the angle
the back of the chair and the seat should be close to a right angle. You don’t want your chair design to
force you into sitting at an angle that will cause problems. If you were sitting in your leather chair
trying to read or eat or drink could you do so comfortably without having to hunch
forward?
· Too Curvy- the design of
chair back should not be excessively curvy - either backward or forward. Many modern designs are to curvy
in one direction or the other or attempt to compensate with lumber support that is in the wrong position
to properly support your back.
· Flat seat- the chair seat
should be a relatively flat surface without excessive dips or bumps. A seat may have a slight slope to
accommodate you more comfortable but it should not be excessive if you expect to be comfortable sitting
for an extended period of time.
This buyer’s guide is designed to help you decide which options are important and what you should look for to
find a chair that you will be happy with when you bring it home and five years later.
