Wood Desk Chairs

There are several categories of wood desk chairs. The first category is one in which we all are extremely familiar – the traditional wood desk chairs we virtually grew up in – the school chair.

Another well-known category is the Banker’s Chair. These wood desk chairs are classic and appealing in appearance. And while they remind one of the banker’s and even town sheriff’s chair’s in the old west – most of these (modern-day) type wood desk chairs are outfitted with height adjustment and gas lift systems for far greater comfort and functionality than their older look-alike predecessors.

And there are several other wood desk chair styles from the Copenhagen to the Patriot Swivel wood desk chair – a chair one could easily imagine Benjamin Franklin or George Washington seated in 200 some years ago – to a variety of “Windsor” Swivel Chairs.

If you happen to be looking for a smart looking and sturdy school room wood desk chair then Jonti-Craft’s Ladder Back Chairs might very well fit the bill. These inexpensive yet charming chairs are entry level, traditional wood desk chairs for school children. The ladder-back design is crafted with your child’s safety in mind and the look is just plain old-fashioned natural wood grain. These chairs can be purchased online for well under $50 a piece.

Sam’s club, by the way, offers a larger more fashionable wooden desk chair (in the school chair style) for around $70. This chair has a darker finish than a traditional school chair and would be well suited for library or den use. It also has metal-to-metal hardware instead of wood screws or glue for extra durability.

The Boss Office Products Banker's Chair in Wood Finish with Leather Cushion  - comes in an attractive fruitwood finish and a reasonable (sale) price of  $127.79. These wood desk chairs are available from Sears.

OneWayFurniture.com offers several of the traditional styles I have noted above. The Copenhagen Style, several Windsor types, the Banker’s Chair style and the Patriot Swivel Chair all come in (unfinished) whitewood. So if you don’t mind doing a little painting or shellacking – you can pretty much transform these well-made classic wood desk chairs into any color, shade or finish you desire. These chairs all come with castors, height adjusters and gas lifts for state-of-the-art comfort and functionality.

In any event – I hope I have given you some helpful advice regarding the choosing of a wood desk chair. Remember – these chairs are constructed for long life, functionality, traditional beauty and a high degree of comfort. Yet they are also heavier, not as modern looking and sometimes not quite so comfortable as other varieties of office chairs.
