Cantilever Office Chairs

Cantilever meeting chairs are the most popular style of chairs for meeting and boardrooms. The cantilever leg affords a certain amount of bounce when sat in, something that a four leg chair does not offer. A cantilever chair also moves more smoothly on carpet when pulled away from a meeting table. Lots of the cantilever chairs in this section have matching swivel executive chairs.

This style of office furniture is available in a variety of finishes. The most popular chairs within this range begin with the code BTCH. This range of cantilever meeting chairs represent excellent value for money.
