Buying Guide
Office Chairs for Home Workers and Small Businesses
A large share of our chair orders are a single chair for someone working from home or running a small business, not a business account placing a bulk order. The buying decision is different too. There is no procurement process behind it and no fleet of chairs to standardise. It is one chair that has to be right for one person, every working day.
The kitchen chair problem
Most home working set-ups start with whatever chair was already in the house. That is exactly where most back and neck complaints from home working trace back to. A proper ergonomic chair is a bigger upfront cost than staying with what's already there, but it's a cost that shows up as comfort every single day rather than a one-off spend.
What actually matters for one person, every day
Without a fleet of users to accommodate, you can specify tightly for yourself: your own seat height, your own lumbar position, your own armrest width. This is where an adjustable ergonomic chair earns its price over a fixed, one-size design, since every adjustment is set once and stays right for you.
Delivery speed and hassle
Buying one chair shouldn't mean waiting weeks for it to arrive. Our 48-hour delivery service covers a selected range of chairs, so the chair you order can be with you that week. The guarantee covers delivery. If you'd rather not build the chair yourself, on-site assembly can be added as a separate service.
Warranty counts for more on a single chairA 10-year warranty matters more for a single chair than it does across a fleet. There is no spare chair to swap in if something fails, and no maintenance contract behind it unless you set one up yourself.
Do you need a business account?
No. Sole traders and home workers can order a single chair the same way as any other purchase, without setting up a business account first. A business account becomes worth it once you're ordering regularly or across more than one person.
How HuntOffice can help
Our own PostureX range was built with exactly this buyer in mind: adjustable lumbar support, seat slide, 3D arm rests and a 10-year warranty, for one chair or ten.
