Description
Contract seating for demanding environments
Every adjustment where it should be
The Shadow treatment
Right for your business
Seat and adjustment
Contoured 52cm wide seat with gas height adjustment. A generous, shaped sitting area that sets easily to the right height for your desk.
Ergonomic seat slide, 50cm to 53cm deep. Extend the seat for longer legs so thighs get full support without pressure behind the knees.
Weight tilt tension control. Dial the recline resistance to match your build, so the tilt supports rather than fights you.
Backrest and posture support
High mesh back, 54cm wide. Breathable, contoured support across the whole back through round-the-clock sitting.
Height and depth adjustable lumbar support. Tune both where the lower back support sits and how firmly it presses.
Twin lever synchronised tilt with multi-position lock. Seat and back recline together naturally, lock at your chosen angle, and anti-shock stops any spring-back.
Optional height adjustable headrest. Proper neck support for reclined working; choose the chair with or without.
Armrests
Multi adjustable arms with soft pivoting pads. Height adjusts from 66.5cm to 76.5cm and width from 49.5cm to 57cm, so elbows stay supported and shoulders relaxed.
Size, capacity and usage
78cm wide, 68cm deep footprint. Full-size contract seating that still fits a normal workstation.
170kg maximum weight capacity. A genuinely heavy duty rating, well above the standard office chair.

FAQs
44 questions answered here. Type a word or two to find yours.
How big is it?
There are two heights (113cm to 131cm or 133cm to 151cm). Every one is 78cm wide and 68cm deep.
What colours can I have it in?
There are two: Black Airmesh and Black Mesh. Pick the one you want before it goes in the basket.
How much weight will it take?
It is rated to 170kg. Sitting time is cleared for 24 hour use, so it stands up to shift work and control rooms rather than one working day.
How high is the seat?
Seat height is 47cm to 55cm or 52cm to 60cm, depending on the version. It is on a gas lift, set with the lever under the seat. That is stool height, made for a raised bench, a counter or a drawing board rather than a standard desk. The seat itself is 52cm wide and 50cm to 53cm deep.
Is it a high back or a low back?
It has a high back, so it supports the shoulders and upper back as well as the lower. High backs suit people who are sitting for most of the day.
Are arms included?
Yes, arms are included. Where fitted, they adjust in more than one direction, so width and angle can be set as well as height. Arm height is 66.5cm to 76.5cm from the floor.
Is there proper back support?
Yes, and it adjusts. You can set the support where your own lower back curves rather than where the average back is assumed to curve, which is the difference between a chair that helps and one that nags.
Is there a headrest?
That is a choice on this chair: With Headrest or Without Headrest. It adjusts for height.
What adjustments does it have?
Five things: the seat height is on a gas lift, the back and seat recline together on a synchronised tilt, a tension dial sets how hard you have to push to recline, the seat slides forward and back to set the depth, and an anti-shock catch stops the back snapping forward when you release the lock. All of it is worked from levers under the seat, and the instructions in the box say which lever does what.
Does it come assembled?
It arrives flat-packed as standard, with the instructions and fittings in the box. If you would rather not build it, there are two other choices at checkout. Pre-assembled delivery is £15 an item and it turns up built, ready for you to point at the spot. Installation is £17.95 an item and the crew build it and put it where it is going.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery is free and usually lands inside a week. If you are in a hurry, express is £21 an item and gets it to you within two working days when you order before 5pm. The date it will arrive by is on the page and again at checkout before you pay, counted in working days with weekends and bank holidays already taken out.
What warranty does it come with?
It carries the manufacturer's warranty. That covers the mechanism for five years and the fabric and foam for two years. If something fails inside the warranty, report it from your order page and we deal with the manufacturer for you.
What makes a chair heavy duty?
A higher weight rating and a build to match: a stronger gas lift, a reinforced base, denser foam and a mechanism rated for continuous use. Ratings here run to 225kg, against the 150kg or so of an ordinary office chair.
What does 24 hour rated mean?
That the maker builds the chair for a seat that never empties: three shifts, different people, no overnight recovery for the foam. Control rooms, dispatch desks, security, emergency services. It is a durability rating rather than a comfort one, though the two usually travel together at this end of the range.
Who should be buying these?
Two different customers. Anyone running shifts, who needs the 24 hour rating. And anyone buying for a larger or taller person, where a standard chair is at the edge of its rating and will not last. Both are legitimate, and the page tells you which rating you are buying.
Are they bigger to sit in?
Generally yes, with a wider seat and a taller back, which is part of why they suit bigger people. Measure the space under the desk as well as the person, because a wide chair with arms can foul a narrow desk return.
Do you offer installation?
Yes, on everything here. The crew deliver it, build it, put it where you want it and take the packaging away. It starts at £17.95 an item and the exact price is on each product page. Installs usually happen within about 10 working days, and the team agree the day with you rather than simply turning up.
Can I see it in 3D?
Every one of the 6 products in this category has 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. Most of this range is made to order, though, and made-to-order goods cannot be cancelled once acknowledged or returned because you have changed your mind. Each product page says which it is before you buy.
Can you quote for a whole office?
Yes. For twenty items or more, or anything with a complication like a mezzanine or a lift that argues back, we plan the job and give you one quote covering the goods, delivery and installation. Ring 0208 138 0512 or email [email protected] with a rough list or a floor plan.
How do I choose an office chair?
Start with how long it is sat in. A chair rated for eight hours is built differently from one rated for two, and the rating is on every product page. Then the person: weight rating, back height and whether the arms need to adjust. Then the room. There are 218 chairs here from £3, so the filters are usually quicker than the scrolling.
What does contract seating mean?
That the chair is built to be sat in by different people all day, every day, rather than by one person in the evening. It shows up in the foam, the mechanism and the fabric rub test rather than in the photograph, and it is the reason an office chair costs more than a similar-looking one from a domestic shop.
What do the hour ratings mean?
The number of hours a day the maker builds the chair to take. Eight hours is a full-time desk chair. Two to six hours covers visitor, meeting and breakout seating. Twenty-four hours means shift work: control rooms, dispatch desks, anywhere the chair never gets to cool down. Ratings across this category run from two hours to twenty-four.
Is there a weight limit?
Every chair has one and it is on the page. Across this category they run from 100kg up to 1200kg. If somebody is near the limit of an ordinary chair, the heavy duty range is built for it rather than being simply a bigger seat.
Do I have to be a business to buy from you?
Yes. Checkout asks you to confirm that you are buying for your business, trade or profession rather than as a consumer, and it asks for a company name. That is why prices are shown without VAT and why the terms read the way they do. Sole traders and home-based businesses count, and so does an employer buying a desk for somebody working from home.
Do your prices include VAT?
No. Every price on the site is shown excluding VAT, because most of our customers reclaim it. VAT is added at checkout and the total you actually pay is on screen before you confirm anything. A VAT invoice follows once the order is complete. Our VAT number is GB 525 3667 81.
How do I pay?
Payment is due in full when you order, and the methods available to you are shown at checkout. If you pay by bank transfer, your order is not accepted and the lead time does not start until cleared funds reach our account, so it is worth sending it the same day.
Can I pay on account, or on 30 day terms?
No. We take payment before the order goes to the supplier, so there is no credit account to open and no application to fill in. It keeps our prices where they are, and it means nothing is waiting on a credit check while you are waiting for furniture.
Can I put a purchase order number on the order?
Yes. There is a Purchase Order Number box at checkout, and what you type there carries through to the paperwork so your accounts team can match it up.
Do I need an account to order?
No, you can check out as a guest. You will still be able to see the order afterwards: go to Track Order, give the order number and the delivery postcode, and you get the same order page an account holder sees, with the same buttons for returns, cancellations and damage reports. Making an account simply saves typing the address again next time.
How much is delivery?
Standard delivery is free on everything, whatever the size of the order. The paid options are upgrades on top of that: express, pre-assembled and installation, each priced per item and shown on the product page before you add anything to the basket. Where an option is not shown on a product, it is not available for that product.
Do you deliver everywhere in the UK?
We deliver across mainland UK. A number of postcodes sit outside the standard service: Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and Islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Wight and the Isles of Scilly. We can usually still get furniture to those places, but it has to be quoted rather than booked from the site, so ring 0208 138 0512 or email [email protected] before you order.
Will the delivery crew bring it inside?
Standard delivery is to the door, flat-packed. If you want it carried in and built, choose pre-assembled delivery or installation on the product page. Whichever you pick, the crew ring roughly 30 to 60 minutes before they arrive, so you are not waiting by the window all morning.
Can I change my delivery date?
Yes, but not on the day. Our courier partner Furdeco plan their routes in advance, so the three hour slot cannot be moved once the van is out. To rebook for another day, ring Furdeco on 0121 285 5255 with your tracking number and pick a time that suits you. Larger deliveries and installations get a call from our logistics team first anyway, so the day is agreed with you rather than sprung on you.
Can I tell the driver how to find us?
Yes, and it is worth doing. There is a box on the delivery step at checkout, 500 characters, for anything the crew needs to know: where a lorry can park, which floor you are on and whether there is a lift, loading bay hours, a gate code, a one-way system the satnav has never heard of, and who to ask for. It travels with the order rather than sitting in a note at our end. It cannot be edited once the order is placed, so if something changes, ring 0208 138 0512 with your order number.
What happens if I miss the delivery?
The courier team will contact you to arrange another date, or you can ring Furdeco on 0121 285 5255 with your tracking number and rebook it yourself. Worth avoiding if you can: a failed delivery costs from £10 an item, plus storage if the order has to go back to a warehouse. A gate code in the delivery instructions box costs nothing.
Can you take the old furniture away?
Yes, we run a removal and recycling service, quoted per job. It has to be booked before delivery day, because the crew can only take away what they have been booked and equipped to take. Tell us what is going when you order and the swap happens in one visit rather than two.
Can I return something?
Tell us within 14 days of receiving it and we will look at it. Go to your order page, either signed in or through Track Order with the order number and delivery postcode, and raise the return there. The goods have to be unused and back in their original boxes, or packed well enough to survive the journey. If you send them back yourself there is no handling charge at all and carriage is at your cost. If you would rather we collected, we may charge up to £35 an item, and we tell you the figure before we collect. Anything you paid for on top, like express delivery or installation, is not refunded, because those services were already carried out.
Can I cancel an order?
Ask as soon as you can, from your order page. Before anything is dispatched we can often cancel it, though where costs have already been incurred with the supplier we may deduct those before refunding the balance. Once something has been dispatched it becomes a return rather than a cancellation. Made-to-order items cannot be cancelled at all once we have acknowledged them.
Something arrived damaged. What do I do?
Tell the delivery crew at the door. They note it down and photograph it, and that record is what settles the claim with the carrier later. If you turn the delivery away because of the damage, the crew take the goods with them and we arrange a replacement. If you only spot it after they have gone, open your order, press Report a problem and send photographs, up to six on one report. Do it within five days: carriers stop entertaining a claim once a delivery is more than a few days old. A damage report is counted separately from a return, so a breakage does not use up your 14 days.
How do I track my order?
A confirmation email lands as soon as you order, and the moment it is on its way you get a dispatch email with a full tracking link. You can also go to Track Order at any time with your order number and the delivery postcode. Your order number starts with DW.
Is everything on the site actually in stock?
Anything out of stock is hidden from the listings, so if you can see it and add it to a basket, we can get it. The exception is made-to-order items, which are not held in stock by design: they are built for you after you order, and their pages say so.
How do I get hold of a person?
Ring 0208 138 0512, email [email protected], or use the live chat on the site. If it is about an existing order, have the order number to hand and it will be quicker.
