We’ve come to realise that although the team at Barkham Office Furniture understand each other when we are talking about individual mechanisms our chairs have, you most probably don’t. 

So let’s make it a little easier for you, below you’ll find a list of the most popular features, what they do, why you need them and how they help (we’ve even thrown in a couple of diagrams to really help you guys out).
