Traditional Office Chairs have always been the #1 choice for professional office buildings. Law offices, government buildings and other professional service buildings prefer the elegant and comfortable appeal that traditional chairs have to offer. Traditional chairs will usually feature a dark finish wood with either an oxblood or black leather. Many traditional office chairs are also offered in vinyl. Many traditional office chairs are also used as executive chairs because of the high back design that conveys status.

Traditional chairs usually do not have too much functionality. Some basic functions to look for are seat height adjustment and center tilt. Some traditional chairs may go above and beyond with functions like tilt tension control, tilt lock and lumbar support. Because most traditional office chairs are not very adjustable, it is not recommend to sit in them for extended periods. They do not offer proper support for computing and tasking like computer chairs do.
