Allseating's Big and Tall Drafting Chairs

Until recently, you could buy a big and tall office chair or a drafting chair, but it was almost impossible to find a big and tall drafting chair.  We searched for new vendors and put in requests with current manufacturers, and then we found Allseating.

Since 1982, Allseating has developed a reputation for quickly adjusting to the changing needs of customers in the office, educational and healthcare sectors.  They have added to their sturdy 325 lb capacity chairs a drafting stool height, creating the most sought after office chair.  We are pleased to have added Allseating seven big and tall drafting chair models to our site.  Their Inerntia mesh drafting chair is the most customizable, allowing the user to choose between 55 different fabric or vinyl seat colors and 8 different mesh back colors.  The Chiroform Mid Back Ergonomic Drafting Chair also offers the 55 different fabric or vinyl colors as well as an optional energy absorbing foam seat.  Their ZIP mesh back drafting chair features a unique full horizontal mesh backrest for maximum breathability and support.

All models offer pneumatic seat height adjustment, 360-degree swivel, an option of height adjustable t-shape task arms, chrome finish foot rest and a heavy duty five star nylon base with dual wheel carpet casters.  They all have the option of hard surface casters, stationary floor glides and pressure breaking casters.   All of their chairs are custom made with a 10 year warranty and are shipped out in 3-4 business days.

Heavy Duty Office Chairs Evolve in Style and Comfort

It wasn't that long ago when a heavy duty office chair was easy to pick out in an office chair line-up. They were the chairs whose upholstery didn't quite match the rest of the office decor or the ones whose styling was reminiscent of a bad 70's cop show.

Thankfully, times have changed. Today's heavy duty office chairs or big and tall chairs as they are often referred to, are offered in virtually any style and available in almost every type of upholstery that standard office chairs are from fabric, leather, vinyl and even breathable screen mesh.

Style and upholstery are not the only advancements in larger office seating, ergonomic adjustments and contours are also being more readily incorporated into these popular chairs. In addition to the standard seat height and swivel adjustments, chairs like the OFM™247 offer tilt, seat depth, back height and feature a weight capacity rating of up to 400 lbs.

If you feel you don't need all the gadgets of the OFM™ chair the Safco® Vue™ is a mesh back ergonomic big and tall chair that supports up to 500 lbs. and features built in lumbar support, seat height, swivel and more. These are only two diverse examples of how the industry is expanding. For more examples just type heavy duty office chairs in Google and you will be amazed by the number of results.

Keep in mind that these chairs are not for everyone. They are specially crafted chairs that feature more robust construction with stronger frames, bases and cylinders and generally include larger proportioned seat and backrest cushions for greater comfort. A person under 6' tall may find themselves swimming in a big or tall chair and those who weigh considerably less than 250 lbs. may feel as though the chairs cushions are stiff or uncomfortable.

Manufactures are beginning to realize that the market for reliable, sturdy and stylish higher weight capacity office seating is fast growing. The proof is in the new models that are entering the market on an almost monthly basis. For those who find themselves as qualified candidates for a big and tall chair, a trip to your local office furniture store may produce limited results. Often times the web is the best place to compare and price a larger offering of big and tall chairs. After only a few minutes of research I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the variety of chairs available with the features you want and in a style or upholstery that compliments instead of distracts from your home or office decor.
