Wood has been the popular choice for making furniture. It is also the oldest material that has been used to make furniture, much before material like mesh, plastic, leather, etc. were discovered. Using wood for office chairs and office desks lends an old world charm to the entire look of the office. The best part about wood is that it can be used for the most simple as well as the most intricate and complicated designs and patterns.
Wooden office chairs can be greatly enhanced by upholstery. In fact, upholstery complements the otherwise simple and bare look of wood. Also, one can use a variety of colours and shades while upholstering, because all colours gel well with the natural colour of wood. Even without any upholstery, wood can be given a regal and sophisticated look with wood polish.
Wooden office chairs are also very comfortable and now come out with ergonomic designs. They seem to have only one drawback that they come with few adjustments options, sometimes the only adjustment being the height. Wooden chairs are hard, hence the person using it would be requiring a cushion all the time, both at the base and at the back to increase the comfort level.
The most positive aspect of using wooden office chairs is that they are extremely durable. Besides, they are available in a very broad price range. The price also depends upon the design, the finishing and the type of wood that is being used.
Wooden office chairs require careful handling and maintenance in order to prolong their life and diminish wear and tear. One thing to be kept in mind is that it should not be kept too close to the source of heat or in direct sunlight as it damages the finishing and dries out the wood. Regular waxing and polishing retains the shine of the wood surface and keeps it as good as new.
