What is the difference between commercial-grade and consumer-grade executive chairs?

Commercial-grade executive chairs are BIFMA-tested for multi-user, daily use in office environments — heavier frames, denser foam, more durable upholstery, and longer warranty. Consumer-grade chairs (sold at mass retailers) are designed for lighter residential use and typically fail faster in commercial settings. A consumer chair rated for 250 lbs may only reliably support 200 lbs for commercial daily use. For any business environment, commercial-grade is the minimum specification.
