Match the chair to the way the space is used
Start by considering whether people will mainly sit and listen, take notes, or move chairs around as room needs change. For conference or training layouts where a folding seat is a helpful feature, compare the Reef 1980 and 1982. Both have folding seats, and the 1982 also includes a writing tablet. The 1980 can be selected with or without armrests, so it may suit spaces where that choice matters.
For a more fixed meeting-room arrangement, the Reef 1984 has fixed side panels and no writing tablet. The Reef 1992 offers an armchair format with four wooden legs. These differences affect the chair’s form and function, so consider them alongside the room layout and the kind of meetings you host.
Compare writing-tablet models
If attendees need a place to write, look at the 1994, 1998 and 1982. The 1994 is a four-leg upholstered writing chair with a wood or steel base. The 1998 has a side writing tablet and chrome-plated steel legs. The 1982 pairs a folding seat with a writing tablet. Compare the tablet arrangement and base details against your preferred seating layout rather than assuming these features are identical across the range.
Check upholstery and base options
Reef chairs are upholstered, with collection-level upholstery options including Serie 200 and a range of colors such as black, blue, grey, green and red. The exact upholstery choices depend on the model, so use the individual product details to confirm the fabric category and colors available for your selection.
Base materials listed for the family include wood, steel and metal. For a consistent room scheme, check both the base material and the available base colors, as options can differ between models. For example, the 1992 has wooden legs, while the 1998 is specified with chrome-plated steel legs.
What to confirm before choosing
First, decide whether you need armrests, a folding seat, fixed side panels or a writing tablet. Then compare the specific models that meet those needs and verify their upholstery and base options. Reef chairs do not have adjustable seat height, adjustable back height or an adjustable seat depth, so consider whether a fixed seating format suits the people and tasks in your space.
Check the product details for the configuration you intend to order, especially when matching several chairs or coordinating finishes across a room. Myntwork offers Leyform Reef chairs on a monthly lease, which can be considered when planning furniture for a meeting or conference space.
