Choosing a chair for the way the space is used
Start with the setting. For assigned desks, match the chair to the workstation and the needs of the people who will use it regularly. For shared desks, consider how easily different users can settle into the chair, and make sure the listed adjustments meet your workplace requirements. In a project with several chairs, comparing the two models side by side can help you choose one consistent configuration or decide where different configurations make sense.
PT10 is the mesh-back option in this family, with fabric upholstery also specified. PT30 is upholstered and its listing identifies a synchronous mechanism and 1D armrests. These are useful distinctions to review when building a shortlist, but they do not replace checking the full specification for the exact chair you intend to lease.
What to check before selecting a model
Back style and upholstery
Decide whether the mesh-back design or an upholstered back better suits your space and users. The PT10 listing specifies a mesh backrest and fabric upholstery; PT30 is described as fabric upholstered. Review the product details for the precise finish and configuration available for your selection rather than assuming every option applies to both chairs.
Armrests, mechanism and adjustments
Both member descriptions identify armrests, with PT30 specifically described as having 1D armrests. Its listing also names a synchronous mechanism. The collection data lists seat-height, back-height and seat-depth adjustment as unavailable, while headrest and armrest attributes include differing configurations. Check the individual model information carefully if a particular adjustment, armrest or headrest is essential to your workplace plan.
Fit and practical requirements
The listed chair widths are 63 cm and 65 cm, so confirm the dimensions for your chosen model and allow for the space available around each desk. The collection data gives a maximum ballast of 135 kg; verify the exact model’s listing when this figure is relevant to your selection. The bases are described as five-star nylon in the model details, and collection attributes identify plastic bases with black among the recorded base colors. Do not assume other listed colors are available on either model without checking its configuration.
Plan the next step
Once you have identified a suitable model, review its complete specifications, warranty and configuration before finalizing a workplace order. The collection information lists a two-year warranty and indicates circular design, but standards are not specified. Ask for any additional product or origin information you need to assess the chairs for your project.
