Which office chairs are best for lunch rooms?
Article by John K. Taylor
Although only Forty Five minutes to an hour of our working day is likely to be spent on a lunch break, it’s often one of the best times of the day, when you are able to get away from your desk and office chairs, the constantly ringing phone and all the tasks that are fast piling up, and enjoy a coffee, TV, a read of a book or the paper and some fresh fruit or a hearty hot meal. At least it should be one of the most looked forward to times of day, that’s as long as your work place has made the right choice in office chairs for the office canteen, which is a deceptively easy process. You might not think that the office canteen chairs are all that important, but the cleaners, for example, will likely have a lot to say about whether the chairs that have been selected are most appropriate.
So what kinds of office chairs have the right properties to make good lunch room chairs? Here are some of the qualities that are good to look out for lunch room chairs:
Office chairs with an upright, straight back are a good choice for the office canteen because they encourage diners to sit tall which is good for digestion.Office chairs that are easy to clean and durable against wear and tear are top choices. These include moulded plastic chairs, plastic weave chairs, steel mesh or vinyl chairs. These chairs are also appropriate for outdoor use on sunny days and won’t ruin if they’re forgotten out in the rain!Office chairs that are quilted or cushioned are to be avoided in lunch rooms because they feature crevices and cracks where dirt and food scraps and drips can become trapped and are difficult to clean.Folding office chairs and stackable chairs are also good options for the lunch room because they are light, compact and sturdy while allowing for the creation of additional floorspace when necessary.Low plastic stools are also a good choice for lunch room breakout seating because they are very mobile and encourage good posture.
While comfort is still of concern in lunch room chairs, a much smaller percentage of the work day is spent on them than on desk or boardroom tables so ease of cleaning should come first. Of course lunch rooms can also house couches (preferably easy care vinyl) but they should be positioned in front of TV or games areas which will encourage eating to occur at the chairs and tables that are placed close to the sink and microwave.
