Direct-to-Consumer Chair Brands
Direct-to-consumer brands sell chairs from their own websites rather than through dealers and showrooms, and pass part of the saved margin on in price. Most offer home delivery, a trial period and a return policy in place of a test sit, and many update their designs faster than the office majors do. The model has produced some of the best-value chairs on the market and some of the most aggressively marketed ones. What to read before ordering is who pays return shipping, whether the chair must be repacked, and how long the warranty runs. Each listing here notes where the brand actually ships and what its terms say.
