Library Chairs

Color and style preferences are entirely a matter of institutional taste. Library chairs come in a choice of natural wood finishes. We also offer vibrant chairs with bright accents which will liven up any study space. In order to determine what the ideal style is, you should consider what will match with the other library furniture you have chosen and what kind of image you want to project.

Classic library chairs have an elegant appeal that lends a stately charm to any room. Double-saddled seats and steam-bent slatted backs are supportive, sturdy and appealing. This winning combination of charm and functionality is completed by a choice of attractive natural wood finishes.

Size is another important consideration. If you serve patrons of a number of different ages and grades, it is important to make sure that they can all sit comfortably. You also want to make sure that chair heights are proportionately-matched to table heights. In order to ensure that all patrons are comfortable, choose chairs in a variety of sizes.

KFI Educational Edge chairs offer great seating for students young and old. They are available with both a complete natural wood finish and brightly-colored seats and backs. This is an excellent choice for a children’s library or early-childhood section. When your library has appropriately-sized seating, little ones will be encouraged to dive into the world of reading and explore literature.

Another great option for children’s chairs is the ladder back hardwood chair from Wood Designs. Unlike regular adult furniture, all Wood Designs furniture is designed for the health and safety of your young learners. It features a non-toxic natural finish and rounded corners and edges which prevent injury. The design offers the appeal of a classic adult library chair in a size that is suitable for children.

If your library is carpeted, it is a good idea to consider sled-base chairs. Models with four legs can sometimes get caught on rugs and cause snags. Sled-base chairs glide noiselessly and easily over carpeting without causing damage.

Looking for something that is a bit cozier than hardwood? Upholstered library seating from from Georgia Chair and Russwood features natural wood finishes with complementary upholstery. Fabrics are available in a variety of colors and patterns, so they can be coordinated with paint colors or other furniture. Order one matching pattern for all of your seating or choose a number of complimentary designs.

When sitting and reading, it is sometimes tempting to lean one’s chair back to find a more satisfactory position. Leaning back in a regular four-legged or sled-base chair can cause injuries and damage furniture. With a two-position chair, patrons can lean back in a safe and comfortable position, without the risk of damage or injury. If they want to readjust to a classic upright position, they can simply lean forward.
