In any professional environment, the boardroom is where key decisions are made—and the furniture should reflect that. A well-designed boardroom chair does more than provide a seat. It offers comfort during long meetings, supports good posture, and enhances the overall aesthetic of your meeting space.
If you're upgrading your office or fitting out a new boardroom, here are the essential features to look for in a great boardroom chair—plus a closer look at some of our top-performing models that combine form, function, and style.
1. Ergonomic Comfort for Long Meetings
Boardroom meetings can last for hours, so comfort should always be a top priority. Look for chairs with ergonomic features like a contoured seat, back support, and tilt functionality.
The Metro Chair is a standout when it comes to comfort and support. It features a fully sprung seat base, tension-adjustable knee-tilt mechanism, and detailed stitching across its refined PU upholstery. The removable armrests allow flexibility, while the sleek black powder-coat finish adds a professional touch.
For mesh lovers, the Gala Boardroom Chair offers excellent ergonomic design. It has adjustable seat and back angles, weight tension control, and a knee tilt mechanism with three locking positions. With fixed arms and a mesh back, it combines breathability with long-term support—backed by a five-year warranty.
2. Adjustability for a Tailored Fit
Every team member should feel comfortable in their chair. That’s why adjustability is critical—especially in shared spaces like the boardroom.
The 605 Medium Back Boardroom Chair includes a 2-lever infinite locking mechanism, adjustable seat height, and lockable back tilt. Its ribbed PU vinyl seat and chrome spider base give it a classic executive look, perfect for boardrooms that demand both style and flexibility.
The 600 Mesh Meeting Room Chair offers a full mesh seat and back for breathability, and includes a single-point tilt lock mechanism with two levers for adjustments. With polished aluminium arms and base, it suits contemporary spaces aiming for a clean and professional appearance.
3. Quality Materials and Design
A boardroom chair should reflect the professionalism of your business. Materials like mesh, high-quality PU, and chrome finishes convey a modern and refined look.
Take the Buro Diablo Meeting Room Chair, for example. Upholstered in quality PU, it features dynamic seat movement with a forward lock, a black frame, and 60mm soft PU castors for easy mobility. It’s a practical choice for executives who appreciate both aesthetics and functionality.
For versatility in collaborative spaces or training areas, the Zoom Mesh Back Training Chair is ideal. It features a mesh backrest, upholstered seat, and grey frame with fixed loop armrests. It’s also foldable and nestable, making it perfect for multi-use boardrooms or compact offices. An optional foldable tablet arm adds even more practicality.
4. Durability and Long-Term Value
Investing in durable meeting room chairs ensures they’ll stand up to frequent use. Look for strong frame materials, quality mechanisms, and clear warranty information.
The Gala Boardroom Chair, with its sturdy construction and 120kg weight capacity, is built for high-traffic meeting spaces. It also comes with a 5-year warranty for added peace of mind.
The Zoom Mesh Back Training Chair is GREENGUARD Gold Certified and has a 110kg weight rating, proving that space-saving designs can still be durable and reliable.
5. Flexibility for Modern Workspaces
In today’s evolving office environments, your boardroom might also double as a training room, a video call hub, or a breakout space. Chairs that are mobile, foldable, or stackable offer the flexibility modern offices need.
The Zoom Mesh Back Training Chair leads the way here, with nesting capabilities, adjustable backrest angle, and a foldable frame—making it easy to move, store, or reconfigure your boardroom as needed.
