How long should a commercial executive chair last?

A commercial-grade executive chair with a genuine leather or high-grade PU seat, steel or aluminum frame, and a commercial-rated cylinder should last 7–12 years in a typical executive office (8–10 hours per day). The first component to wear is typically the foam seat cushion, which flattens after 3–5 years on lower-grade models — high-density foam (1.8 lb/ft³ or higher) resists compression set far better.
