Office Chairs Under £250

Office chairs under £250, 112 of them between £100 and £249. They take in Eclipse Plus task chairs, the Chiro 24 hour ergonomic range and mesh backed executive seating.

Somewhere around £250 a chair starts holding up its end of the bargain. There are 112 between £100 and £249. They cover most of the task and operator seating and a strong showing of mesh backs, the Sanderson II among them. Add the modest end of the executive chairs and a few cantilever frames off the main chair listing. The band is set for you. The rest of the panel is untouched.

Everything in this band is a swivel or cantilever chair, with the soft seating filtered out. Most arrive part built. The back and the castors are left for you to fit. Clear the band and the whole seating list is back, cheap stackers underneath and pricier ergonomic models over the top. You can still narrow by back height, arms, weight rating or usage hours.

Frequently asked questions

What do I get in this price band?

122 chairs, filtered on price so you are not scrolling past things outside the budget. Prices shown are excluding VAT, which is how we show everything, and the band is applied to the cheapest option on each product rather than the most expensive.

Why do chairs vary so much in price?

Adjustment and build. A cheap chair has a gas lift and a tilt; an expensive one adds independent seat and back angles, adjustable lumbar, seat depth and multi-adjustable arms, better foam and a mechanism rated for longer. For a chair somebody sits in all day, that difference is what you are buying.

Where should I not economise?

On a chair somebody sits in all day. A cheap visitor chair used twice a week is fine; a cheap task chair under a full-time employee costs more in the end, and the gas lift is the part that fails.

Is there a discount for buying several?

For twenty items or more, or anything complicated, we quote the job as one rather than as a basket of lines, covering the goods, delivery and installation. Ring 0208 138 0512 or email [email protected] with a list.

Is this page kept up to date?

It is a live cut of the catalogue rather than a hand-written list, so it always shows what we can actually supply today. There are 122 chairs on it at the moment, from £48. Anything out of stock is hidden, so if you can see it and add it to a basket, we can get it.

How long does delivery take?

Standard delivery is free on everything, and most of it lands inside a week. Express delivery is offered on much of the range, priced per item on the product page, and gets an order to you within two working days if you place it before 5pm. 63 of the 122 products here are made to order rather than stocked, and those take 10 to 15 working days. The product page says which, and shows the date it will arrive by before you pay.

What warranty does it come with?

Each product carries the manufacturer's warranty and the period is stated on that product's page, often broken down by part: the structure for one length of time, the mechanism and the fabric for another. If something fails inside the warranty, report it from your order page and we deal with the manufacturer for you.

Can I see it in 3D?

90 of the 122 products in this selection have a 3D model on the page rather than only photographs. The viewer spins the actual model, and changing a colour or a size on the page changes the model with it, which is worth doing before committing a whole room to a finish.

Can I change my mind after ordering?

On stocked items, yes: tell us within 14 days of receiving them and raise it from your order page, with the goods unused and back in their packaging. 65 of the 122 products here are made to order, though, and those cannot be cancelled once acknowledged or returned because you have changed your mind. Each product page says which it is before you buy.
