What does it mean when lounge seating is BIFMA certified?

BIFMA — the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association — sets the testing benchmarks for commercial-grade furniture. A BIFMA-certified lounge chair has been put through its paces: seat load cycling at 100,000+ repetitions, arm strength tests, back push resistance, and leg stability checks. Certification means the piece is genuinely built for full-time commercial use, not just made to look like it is. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries BIFMA-compliant lounge seating throughout — call 888-719-4960 if you need certification documentation for a bid.
