What is swivel tension on a conference chair and why does it matter?

Swivel tension controls how easily the seat rotates on the five-star base. Loose swivel tension lets the seat spin freely — useful in collaborative environments where people frequently turn to face different speakers. Tighter swivel tension (adjustable via a knob or dial on the underside) keeps the chair more stable for users who find free-spinning distracting. In executive and formal boardrooms, some organizations prefer tighter swivel tension for a more controlled appearance. Most commercial conference chairs allow swivel tension adjustment.
