A QUALITY CONTROLLED ERGONOMIC OFFICE CHAIR SHOULD POSSESS THE FOLLOWING:

• Seat Height (Pneumatic Adjustment Lever)
• Seat Width and Depth
• Lumbar Support (Lumbar adjustment for both height and depth)
• Backrest (Adjustable and Locking mechanism)
• Seat Material – Enough padding to be comfortable a fabric that breathes
• Armrests (Adjustable)

A good ergonomic office chair, as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), "provides necessary support to the back, legs, buttocks, and arms, while reducing exposures to awkward postures, contact stress, and forceful exertions."

Office chair components should comply with many international authority augmentations of the seat industry, including EEC EN1335, US ANSI/BIFMA5.1 etc., thus effectively guaranteeing the quality of the products.
