Lounge Seating — Expert Answer

What seat height works best for commercial waiting room chairs?

The sweet spot for most commercial applications is 17–19 inches — that range gives you a relaxed lounge feel while still being easy to get in and out of. Anything below 16 inches gets problematic for older visitors or anyone with mobility challenges. If your space needs to meet ADA requirements, make sure at least one seat per grouping falls in that 17–19 inch range with 30x48 inches of clear floor space alongside it.
