Seat upholstery. Faux leather is the entry option. PPM and nubuck PPM are polyurethane performance leathers. Camira fabrics are woven contract fabrics. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Base finishes

The Avanos Office sets the rounded Avanos shell, with its tall, softly tapered back, on a gas-lift office base that tilts, swivels and rolls. The one-piece silhouette reads cleanly from every side, which helps in open-plan offices, glass-walled meeting rooms and home studies that face into the room. The shell is fully upholstered over a padded seat, so it feels like a dining chair you can work in rather than a mesh task chair. Pick chrome or black for a crisp, Modern look, gold for warmth, or aluminum for a slightly wider stance.

Who it is not for

• Users above 350 lb: see the Amed or Amed+ office chairs, rated for 400 lb
• Dining tables, where casters let the chair roll away

Care

Wipe faux leather and PPM with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry. Vacuum fabric seats regularly and blot spills right away. Wipe the metal base with a soft, dry cloth; skip abrasive pads and harsh cleaners, which dull plated and powder-coated finishes. Leather and fabric vary slightly in shade from batch to batch.

Frequently asked questions

What is the seat height range?

The gas lift sets the seat anywhere from 17.5 to 21.5 in.

Does the Avanos Office have arms?

No. The shell wraps slightly at the sides but has no armrests, so it slides close to the desk.

Does it tilt?

Yes. The five-star base has full tilt, a 360-degree swivel and casters.

How much weight does it hold?

It is rated for 350 lb.

Why do the prices differ?

Faux leather is the entry seat. PPM, PPM-FR, S-PPM, boucle and Camira Era fabric cost a little more, and Camira Blazer wool is the top tier. Gold and aluminum bases add a small surcharge.

Is there a larger Avanos office chair?

Yes. The Avanos Large Office Chair has a wider lounge-size shell and a lower seat.
