Guest & Side Chairs — Expert Answer
Why does guest chair seat height matter in an office setting?
Seat height affects the visitor's posture, comfort, and position relative to the person they're meeting. A seat height of 17"–19" is standard and appropriate for most adults — feet rest flat on the floor and knees are at approximately 90°. Chairs that are too low cause a sprawling posture that some users find uncomfortable; chairs too high leave shorter users' feet dangling. For reception areas with diverse visitors, standard seat height is the most universally comfortable. OfficeFurniture2go.com — call 1-800-460-0858.
