Can I Get A Wood Finished Swivel Office Chair?

Most swivel Office Chairs are supplied with either metal or plastic components or a combination of them, however it is possible to purchase an Office Chair that appears to be a wooden framed swivel Office Chair.

How is this done? Obviously whilst wood can be used on certain parts of an Office Chair it certainly can’t be used for the gas lift!

What most Office Chair manufacturers that offer this type of Chair do is to clad certain components in timber. This makes the Office Chair appear to be made of wood.

Typically, they will use a basic welded steel 5 star base over which a finished wood cladding is fixed, giving the Office Chair the appearance of having a wooden swivel base. Obviously, arms can be made of wood easily enough instead of metal or plastic.

The Office Chair’s gas lift will clearly still need to be a metal component. However, most gas lifts on better quality chairs have a nesting plastic shroud arrangement that adjusts to the Office Chair’s height automatically.

With wood framed swivel Office Chairs the shroud is usually finished in something that compliments the timber finish of the chair.

So, if you want a wood framed Office Chair this is how it’s done and it shouldn’t be a problem sourcing one as a lot of Office Chair manufacturers offer them.
