We did not load test 40 chairs and no laboratory programme was commissioned, so this 2026 report publishes component failure modes and specification checks instead of fabricated results. The analysis works from BS EN 1335, the European standard covering office chair dimensions, safety requirements and test methods, and explains why gas cylinder class, base material and replaceability predict longevity far better than a headline number. A specification table sets out how six load bearing components fail and what to check before buying, and the guidance covers duty cycle, castor to floor matching, correct seat height and the damage caused by dropping into a seat."}
