What should I know about the swivel base and five-star base on an ergonomic chair?

The five-star base is the industry-standard design for ergonomic chairs — five arms distribute the user's weight evenly and provide a stable, tip-resistant platform. Bases come in nylon (standard), glass-filled nylon (stronger), and polished aluminum (premium). Aluminum bases are more durable, more corrosion-resistant, and much better-looking, especially in executive environments. The star diameter (typically 26"–28") determines how much floor space the chair occupies when pivoting. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries chairs with quality five-star bases in various finishes — call 888-719-4960.
