Best mesh-backed office chairs for 2024

Meshback chairs are a great choice for South African offices. The mesh backrest allows for airflow while still providing plenty of back and lumbar support. This makes them more comfortable during our long, hot summers.

Our Andes Meshback office chair has a stylish and modern design coupled with comfortable and supportive features such as a waterfall-edge seat.

Other features include a self-tensioning synchronised tilt mechanism, adjustable armrests and a five-star castor base for smooth rolling and swivelling.

Best certified ergonomic office chairs for 2024

Ergonomic chairs must be fully adjustable, so they can provide the right type of support to all users. Some chairs claim to be ergonomic but aren’t independently certified. At K-Mark, we manufacture two chairs that have been certified by Ergomax, the EasyPro and the Veneto.

The EasyPro is our flagship ergonomic chair. The practical design ticks all the right boxes to qualify as ergonomic and can be customised to suit your décor.

The EasyPro features a breathable mesh backrest, height-adjustable armrests, automatic tilt adjustment and a five-star castor base for smooth, easy swivelling.

Best visitors’ chairs for 2024

Visitors’ chairs have lots of uses in offices. They can be used as extra seating for training sessions, for presentation and events, in meeting rooms and boardrooms, and even in the reception area. Some are stackable, making them easy to store.

Our stackable Modena Side Chair is a versatile option that comes with or without arms and features a comfortable, moulded seat.

The chrome finish on the legs makes it a stylish option and the upholstery can be customised to suit your décor.

Best office stools for 2024

Standing desks are more popular than ever, but most people can’t stand on their feet all day. Most standing desks use a comfortable stool for active sitting. People who work at counters or workbenches need a decent stool to give their feet a rest.

The Ziggurat Wobble Base is the perfect office stool for active sitting. The base allows the seat to lean seven degrees in any direction, so the user is always engaging their core muscles.

The stool has a comfortable padded seat and a sturdy base, so the user is comfortable and active at the same time. The base is available in aluminium or nylon finishes.

Best canteen chairs for 2024

Canteen chairs must be robust and easy to clean. A comfortable canteen chair can be used in your office break room but also as seating in kitchens, on patios or balconies, and as extra seating for events or presentations.

Our GSI Side Chairs come in a range of colours and are available with or without arms. These stackable chairs are made from high-strength polyurethane, making them durable and easy to clean.

The moulded seat and arms are practical yet comfortable. The metal legs give these chairs a stylish finish.

Best tub chairs for 2024

Every office needs some soft seating. Tub chairs offer a compact design and a versatility that makes them suitable for a range of applications, including as reception seating, visitors’ chairs, meeting room chairs and desk chairs.

Our Elsie’s tub chair is available as a desk chair with a castor base and as an armchair with a cross base. Both bases are black ferro coated, giving them a lasting matte finish.

The stylish angular design is comfortable but compact, and can be customised to suit your décor. The chair has a moulded foam cushion for extra comfort.

How to choose the best office chair

The first factor to consider is how the chair will be used. If the user will be sitting for long hours, choose an ergonomic chair. If the user has a standing desk or works at a counter, a stool or draughtsman chair will work better.

Consider the size of the office. Smaller spaces need compact designs, like operator chairs, while larger offices can accommodate bigger chairs, such as highback chairs.

Also consider the cost versus what you’re getting. The highest-rated chairs in the world are prohibitively expensive. An experienced local manufacturer with a good reputation will offer chairs that balance high quality with affordability.

Finding a local manufacturer means you can get repeats of the same chair with the same specs. This is especially important if your business is growing and you may need to expand your offices or open new branches.

As a local manufacturer with many years of experience, K-Mark offers some of the best office chairs in South Africa for 2024. Browse our online store or contact us for more information about our range of office chairs and other furniture.
