Leather is Definitely Good, but We like Fabric Better
Generally leather is the stronger of the two and is famous for being durable and comfortable of the two. But, what may be advantage to some may not be the same for others. Offices often require cheaper alternatives to expensive leather-upholstered furniture. Fabric office chairs are ideal for sitting lower rung officials or occupy rooms that seldom host important functions or find usage besides the odd meeting once a month.
Leather chairs are for the discerning of the eye and anyone who does not have the time or the patience to know about the differences between horse leather, cow leather, shark leather or whatever-leather it is that is the trend in office chairs! For someone looking for quick solution, fast, cheap, affordable and disposable fabric office chairs are better than pricey leather ones.
The winning quality of fabric office chairs is the variety in color. This is something leather chairs for office cannot compete. There are limitations to tanning leather, but with fabric, there are simply none. You can play around with the color scheme to your hearts content. You can either have the room color chosen on the fabric office chair’s color or the other way. The color can accentuate the room’s theme or just blend in perfect harmony.
Practicality and Comfort
Summarizing the choicest features of fabric office chairs is not hard. These are practical and comfortable. For someone who does not want to have anything to do with fancy features, there cannot be anything better than fabric office chairs. A very welcome surprise is the addition of ergonomics in these low end chairs. Now you do not have to stretch every hour or join yoga classes for your back pain.
Leather is definitely easier to maintain as compared to fabric, but a slip-cover over the fabric takes care of the maintenance headache with swagger! Truth be told leather requires expensive creams and oils, with slip-covers all you need to do is slip it off the seat and back and throw it in the washing and when the slips are crispy dry, you can spray some perfume or deodorant for good measure.
That brings to the end of our short comparison of the features of leather and fabric office chairs and we think fabric suits us just fine.
