When you decide on actually having an executive chair in your office there are many decisions to consider when you are looking at specifics and individual likes or dislikes.
Most of the time people focus on visual appearance and color as the main driving force for their chair decision making.
Then others get further into the actual look of the furniture and turn toward materials and what the chair is made of.
These people focus on the quality and the actual detail in the furniture.
In today's day and age there has been more of a demand for the "green" chairs.
These people want a so called environmentally friendly chair and will pretty much buy anything that has a green stamp on it claiming to have a good environmental friendly report.
The thing that everyone should be looking at is what the chair is made of and how that could potentially affect your own health.
You need to take your own safety into consideration you are going to be in this chair for many hours out of the day and it is important to know that the materials and finishes that are in the chair will not harm you.
The first safety issue that many people run into with an executive leather chair is the material and finish that is on the chair cushion and backing.
The problems start to happen when the chairs are of the poorest quality.
This is mainly the chairs that are the cheapest and made with harsh chemicals that tend to off gas as the temperature and uses of the chair fluctuate.
Most of these chairs that have the fake leather or polyester materials have very distinctive smells.
Sometime it is the smell of rubber or a polish.
The worst ones smell like gasoline.
These smells are signs that the chair has been finished with cheap materials that could affect your health.
Well now that you know the signs to look for; what actually can happen to you? Well what normally happens is sun exposure and changing temperatures actually help degrade the finishes used on the chair.
This actually causes them to breakdown and degrade even if the look and ascetics stays the same.
That is what they have been designed to do.
Constant office temperature changes like when the air conditioning is on during the day and shut off at night when everyone goes home does not help the situation either.
Most people start to get headaches and nausea.
These are signs that if they constantly happen when you have a new chair, could be from your new piece of furniture.
The next safety issue that is at risk to you is as the chair off gasses it does get into the air which can cause not only headaches and nausea but eye irritation.
This is something that may cause eye watering, redness and eyes being itchy.
This is something that you will know flat out if you are having an irritation to.
The next safety issue that can happen is rashes.
This is something that normally will happen with contact to the arms or legs.
Any discomfort that you experience can come from a cheap executive office chair.
The main idea is to make sure you know what you are buying and that you don't just run out and buy one single chair based on price.
The main important thing is to know what you are buying and make sure that the finishes are not only harmful to the environment but not harmful to you as well.
More than likely if the materials used in your chair are not harmful to you they will not hurt the environment either.
Do research understand and enjoy a chair for years to come with no safety issue for you.
