Seating

Specify the Seating category across sofas, loveseats, club chairs, lounge chairs, benches, ottomans, modular soft seating, and healthcare seating used in documented lobby, reception, waiting, collaborative, and hospitality environments. The documented program identifies the appropriate subtype against the documented occupant count, seating arrangement, use environment, and upholstery maintenance requirement before selecting a series.

Specify single club chair widths of 22 to 32 inches, loveseat widths of 46 to 58 inches, and sofa widths of 60 to 96 or more inches. The documented seat height specifies 16 to 20 inches off the floor. Specify the documented depth (22 to 30 inches) against the documented room footprint and the documented traffic flow clearance of 36 inches around each seating piece per the procurement spec.

Specify commercial seating rated to the BIFMA X5.4 lounge seating standard for the documented lobby and waiting room program. Commercial frames specify for 8-hour daily occupancy against residential seating at occasional use. The documented weight rating per seat position specifies on the product page — specify the documented rating against the occupant weight range in the program.

Specify commercial fabric (contract-weight, 100,000-plus double rub rating) for the documented corporate and hospitality lobby program. Specify commercial vinyl or antimicrobial vinyl for the documented healthcare waiting, clinic, and high-sanitation environment. Specify bonded leather for the documented mid-tier executive reception program. Specify top-grain leather for the documented top-tier executive lobby. The documented frame specifies in kiln-dried hardwood or steel against the commercial duty rating.

Specify that most commercial lobby seating arrives fully assembled or with documented leg attachment only. Modular soft seating systems require documented panel-to-panel connection using the documented hardware included. Specify that sofas and loveseats at 60 to 96 inches wide require a second person and documented room access clearance for placement. Specify the documented floor glide set (hard-floor vs. carpet) against the documented floor finish in the room.

Specify club chairs and sofas in documented lobby and reception soft-seating clusters. Specify healthcare seating with antimicrobial vinyl and bariatric weight ratings at documented clinical waiting rooms. Specify modular seating at documented collaborative zones and lounge areas in open-plan programs. Specify bench seating at documented high-density waiting positions in lobbies and reception areas. The documented seating type maps to the documented zone in the procurement spec.

Specify the documented upholstery (fabric, vinyl, leather) against the cleaning protocol and traffic intensity. Compare the documented frame construction against the documented weight rating requirement. Specify the documented seat height against the documented ADA accessible height requirement. Specify the documented modular vs. fixed configuration against the room reconfiguration frequency in the program. The product page documents each variable per series.

Specify replacement glide sets, seat cushion cores, and upholstery panels as the primary serviceable components for the documented commercial seating program. The documented series identifies available replacement components on the product page. Specify the documented re-upholstery option for top-tier leather seating at executive lobby programs where documented aesthetic maintenance is a requirement of the facility management spec.

Commercial seating tested to the BIFMA X5.4 testing standard for the documented program carry a 10 to 15-year warranty in the industry against residential seating at 1 year, but we offer a Free Lifetime Warranty unless specifically noted. The documented frame, the seat foam, the upholstery, the leg glides, and the modular connection hardware are documented in the coverage scope.

Specify seating with a documented 16 to 18-inch seat height for the documented accessible lobby and waiting room program — seats below 14 inches become difficult for wheelchair transfer. Specify a minimum 30 by 48-inch clear floor space at each documented accessible seating position for a wheelchair user to pull alongside. Specify the documented 36-inch accessible path between each seating piece in the lobby program per the ADAAG requirements.
