How long should a commercial executive chair hold up?

A well-built executive chair with genuine or high-grade PU leather, a steel or aluminum frame, and a commercial-rated gas cylinder should last 7–12 years in a typical executive office environment. The foam seat cushion is usually the first thing to soften and flatten, and on lower-grade models that can happen in 3–5 years — high-density foam rated at 1.8 lb/ft³ or better resists that compression set far longer.
