Office Chairs UK

Office Chairs UK is a family-run office furniture retailer in Aylesford, Kent, selling branded office chairs and furniture online across the UK. Its roots go back to Three Towns Office Equipment Ltd, which the about page says was founded in 1971 by Dick Edwards and Peter Reid in a basement in Gillingham, selling business equipment, typewriters, fax machines and stationery before specializing in office furniture. The business moved to Aylesford in the mid-1980s and is still at the same site; an early website, office-seats.co.uk, preceded today's officechairsuk.co.uk. The founders' sons, Richard and James, now run the day-to-day business, and the site says they will "more often than not answer the phone when you call". Prices are shown in pounds including VAT, delivery within the UK is free, and the homepage adds that it does deliver to NI and Europe.

Which brands it carries

This is a dealer, not a maker. The homepage says Office Chairs UK is an authorized online retailer for Herman Miller, Humanscale, Orangebox, Boss Design, Sedus Stoll, Interstuhl, Vitra/Eames and Senator, and the brand menu adds Ahrend, Allermuir, Bisley, Colebrook Bosson Saunders (CBS), Elite, Girsberger, KAB Seating, Koplus, Lyndon, Naughtone, Pledge, Techo, Torasen, Verco, Viasit and William Hands, plus a "TC Value Quick Delivery" range. The chair menu runs from All Ergonomic Office Chairs and Ergonomic Mesh Office Chairs through Back Care/Orthopedic, home office, ESD, designer, executive, draughtsman, 24-hour control room, meeting, boardroom and stacking chairs, and on to lounge, hotel, cafe and outdoor seating. Desks, height adjustable desks, storage, tables, meeting pods and accessories such as monitor arms, footrests, keyboard trays and castors and spare parts fill out the catalog.

Mesh chairs and prices on the homepage

The best-seller carousel shows how deep the mesh range goes. Among the listed chairs, each shown as a "From" price including VAT: the Herman Miller Aeron Size B Graphite at £ 1,302.00, the Herman Miller Mirra 2 Graphite Edition at £ 993.60, several Herman Miller Verus configurations with mesh or Triflex backs from £ 481.06 to £ 620.42, the Techo Sidiz T50 Mesh Back Office Chair Black Edition at £ 548.10, the Senator Ricco Mesh Back and Mesh Seat Office Chair at £ 600.80, the Fonz Mesh Back Office Chair with Headrest at £ 472.50, the Torasen Saturn Mesh Home Office Chair at £ 247.20 with 20% off applied, and the Marlos Mesh Back Office Chair with Folding Arms at £ 229.50. Other task chairs in the same row include the Humanscale Freedom Headrest Chair, the Humanscale Diffrient World Chair, the Herman Miller Sayl, Setu, Lino and Cosm, the Orangebox Recur and the Sedus se:kit. Each listing is tagged either "In stock" or "Made to order", and a few carry a future availability date, so lead times differ from chair to chair.

The homepage gives the Herman Miller Cosm its own feature. It describes the Cosm's "Auto-Harmonic Tilt", which the site says works with an Intercept suspension mesh back and a flexible frame to adjust the recline automatically, and its "Leaf Arms", and it lists three single-color versions (Nightfall, Canyon and Glacier) with a "12 Year Herman Miller Warranty". A banner for the Senator FreeFlow says its "unique design and spine" is based on "the counter-rotating movement of a fish".

Guarantee, delivery and assembly

The strongest general promise is in one line above the carousel: "Leading Manufacturers + Free UK Delivery + Minimum 5 Yr Guarantee + Fully Assembled! Unless Otherwise Stated." So chairs normally arrive assembled, and the site sets a floor of 5 years on the guarantee, with some brands going further, such as the 12 years quoted for the Cosm. The homepage does not spell out what the guarantee covers or who handles a claim.

For speed, the menu has "Quick Delivery From Stock", "Next Day Delivery Office Chairs" and "Quick Delivery Office Chairs 3-5 days" sections, and a homepage banner says "We Will deliver in 48-72 hours!" for chairs needed quickly. The Koplus Tonique is listed with "1-2 Day delivery". The footer links Delivery Information, Returns & Refunds, Making A Purchase and an FAQ, and the homepage promotes an "Easy Returns Policy" without stating its terms there.

Paying, price matching and offers

The site runs a "Price Match Guarantee" and says it will price match "any branded product we sell against any other online retailer", checking against other UK online retailers. The homepage banner advertised a site-wide code, GET10, for 10% off with an end date of 30/9, and a separate Humanscale code, FINAL10, was advertised as a limited time offer. Buyers can split a payment into 3 interest-free installments with Klarna, pay monthly with Klarna or pay with Clearpay, and business customers can pay by pro forma at checkout. The homepage cites Trustpilot as rating the store "Excellent with 1,300+ Reviews".

Trying chairs and planning an office

Office Chairs UK has no showroom of its own. Instead it says it has "the use of many of our manufacturing partners showrooms", most of them in London, and can arrange a visit without obligation so a buyer can try chairs before ordering. For fit-outs it offers free office planning and design: a site visit to take a brief and a CAD drawing of the proposed layout. A 2026 furniture catalog is available, and support runs by phone on 0345 600 1917, by email at sales@officechairsuk.co.uk or help@officechairsuk.co.uk, and through a live chat on the site.

A note on the back care range

The menu includes a "Back Care/ Orthopedic Office Chairs" section, and a homepage feature presents Torasen's Orthopaedica range. That copy is the brand's marketing: it says the range offers "the ultimate level of postural support" and calls it "an ideal choice for those with back problems". The concrete options it lists are a seat slide of 50mm on Torasen models, an inflatable lumbar, a coccyx cut-out, an inflatable thorax support and an "Air Tech" seat, with a 5yr warranty and 99% recyclability quoted.

Who it suits

Office Chairs UK suits UK buyers who already know which premium mesh chair they want, whether an Aeron, a Mirra 2, a Verus or a Sidiz T50, and want it delivered free and assembled with a guarantee of at least 5 years and a price match against other UK retailers. It also suits small and mid-sized offices that want free planning, CAD layouts and access to manufacturer showrooms in London through one dealer. The site does not publish seat-height ranges or weight ratings on the homepage and category listings, so anyone with specific sizing needs should check the individual product page or call before ordering.
