Comparison GT Racer B-562 vs GT Racer X-782

— For the leader. The "director's" chair is designed not only to provide comfort to the leader, but also to emphasize his status and authority. Therefore, such models usually have a massive structure and larger dimensions than conventional chairs for staff, and also use more expensive materials (primarily leather and its analogues) — which ensures an appropriate solid design. Many executive chairs also have a specific shape with a slightly "failed" seat, headrests, etc.; all this is designed to increase the comfort of the seated.

— For staff. Armchairs designed primarily for ordinary office workers. On the practical side, for the most part, they are less comfortable than executive models — in particular, they are rarely equipped with head restraints (see below) and lumbar support. At the same time, the key difference lies in the fact that in this case the emphasis is not on design, but on practicality. So, the design uses mainly inexpensive, but sufficiently durable materials (fabric, mesh, etc.), the weight of the chairs is small, which makes it easy to move them from place to place, and the shape of the seat and armrests is usually chosen in such a way that It was convenient for the seated person to get up and sit down often. However, models for staff are sometimes so good and functional that they can be safely attributed to managerial chairs, so such options can have a dual purpose — for the ma...nager and staff.

— For visitors. The specificity of chairs of this type is that they, usually, are constantly in one place, while they are used by different people who have to sit for a relatively short time. Therefore, such models most often have bases in the form of legs or skids (see "Base design"), and their design as a whole is quite simple and rarely provides any additional adjustments. Nevertheless, in this class there are both simple products made of inexpensive materials that provide a minimum of comfort, and very solid-looking furniture, designed for richly furnished offices and not inferior in quality to the "director's" chairs.

— Children's. Armchairs designed for children have appropriate design features — reduced dimensions and a specific shape of the seat and back. In addition, among such models there are options in a rather bright original design — with colour drawings, an unusual shape of the backs and seats, etc.

— Gamer. Models created specifically for gamers stand out with a characteristic "aggressive" design, hinting at the seats of racers and pilots. However, they are often as comfortable as real racing seats, and the equipment includes at least a Tilt mechanism, and more often a more advanced solution such as a multiblock or synchro mechanism (see above). In general, this is a fairly advanced type of chair — but not cheap, respectively.

Seat height from the floor. The optimal height for an average person is considered to be 40 – 50 cm, however, this is largely subjective, and the comfort of the chair for a specific user greatly depends on their preferences and physical characteristics. In light of this, many models offer the ability to adjust the height within a certain range (see "Adjustments"). For the best choice, it's best to "try out" in person to determine at what height you feel comfortable sitting and find a model with the corresponding features.

The presence of an additional footrest in the design of the chair. Such a stand is usually made folding and located under the seat, and when unfolded it rises forward to a horizontal or almost horizontal position; On some models, the tilt of the stand can be adjusted. Anyway, this feature allows you to unload the legs, which not only provides additional comfort, but also has a positive effect on the ligaments and joints.

The ability to change the height of the headrest. For more on the role of the function itself, see "Headrest"; here we note that this adjustment makes it easier to adjust the chair to the height of the user, however, it is possible to adjust the height of the headrest only if the headrest is a separate part, and not an extension of the backrest.

Changing the inclination of the headrest changes, accordingly, the inclination of the head resting on it. This allows the user to choose the optimal position for their preferences and specifics of the situation.

The ability to move the back up and down. It is useful for adjusting the product to the height and physique of the user, which is especially important if there is lumbar support or when using the chair by people of different heights.

The ability to change the backrest tilt back and forth. Allows users to adjust the chair depending on how they prefer to sit: straight or slightly leaning back.

The ability to change the tilt of the entire chair as a whole. At the same time, the back and seat remain motionless relative to each other, and the chair can be fixed at any angle of inclination (within the available adjustment). Note that in some mechanisms - for example, AnyFix and MultiBlock - such capabilities are available by definition, but the matter is not limited to this.

The height of the armrests installed in the chair relative to the seat. In models that have the ability to adjust the armrests in height (see "Adjustments"), the range of such adjustment is usually indicated.

The overall comfort of using the chair depends on the height of the armrests, but this parameter is largely subjective: even people of the same height can differ in physique and personal preferences. So if comfort is of fundamental importance to you, it is best to check live what armrest height is optimal and choose a chair with the appropriate specifications.
