How much space does an office chair need to roll?

Allow a minimum of 42 inches of depth behind your desk for the chair to roll back comfortably. The chair base is about 27 inches in diameter, plus you need legroom.

Will an office chair fit in a car?

Yes. Most office chairs fit in the back seat of a sedan. For a tighter fit, remove the seat from the base (usually one bolt) and separate the two pieces.

How heavy is an office chair?

Standard office chairs weigh 30-50 pounds. Executive leather chairs and ergonomic chairs (like the Herman Miller Aeron) can weigh 40-65 pounds.

Moving Tips

1Lower the chair to its minimum height and remove armrests if they detach (many clip off).
2Wrap the base and casters in a garbage bag to keep them from scratching other items during transport.
3For long moves, separate the seat from the gas cylinder base — most unscrew with one bolt.
