Student & Study Chairs

Building a consistent habit of learning starts with the right environment. Our Student and Study Chairs offer the perfect balance of compact design and ergonomic support, ensuring focus for students of all ages without occupying the excessive floor space required by standard corporate furniture.

We supply these durable, cost-effective seats to parents setting up homework stations and university students furnishing dorms or small apartments in Nairobi.

Compact Design for Home Workspaces

In many Nairobi apartments, the study area is often part of a bedroom or a corner of the living room. Standard office chairs with wide armrests and large wheelbases can obstruct walkways and make a room feel cluttered.

The Armless Advantage

Our most popular study models feature an armless design. This intentional omission serves a functional purpose: it allows the chair to tuck completely under any standard writing desk or dining table when not in use.

This simple feature reclaims floor space, making the room passable and tidy. Additionally, removing armrests allows the user to sit closer to the desk, encouraging an upright posture rather than leaning forward.

Small Footprint Bases

While executive chairs use 700mm bases, our student chairs utilize compact 550mm to 600mm nylon star bases. This reduces the turning radius, allowing the chair to fit into tight alcoves or between a bed and a wall without bumping into furniture.

Chairs with Ergonomics for Growing Students

A static dining chair is often too low for a child or too high for a teenager, leading to hunched shoulders and poor handwriting posture. Our study chairs grow with the user.

Pneumatic Height Adjustment: Every model in this category includes a gas-lift mechanism. This allows the seat height to adjust between 40cm and 52cm. For younger students, this ensures their elbows can rest at a 90-degree angle to the desk surface, which is critical for reducing wrist strain during writing or typing.

Lumbar Support: Even compact chairs must support the spine. Our backrests feature a curved profile that cradles the lower back (lumbar region). This support reduces fatigue during long revision sessions, helping students maintain concentration for longer periods.

Durability and Material Selection

Furniture used by children and teenagers endures distinct physical stress. We select materials that withstand active use.

• High-Density Fabric:

  We stock study chairs in durable woven fabric. Unlike cheap mesh that can snag on zippers or pencils, fabric is resilient and puncture-resistant. It also offers a warmer, more comfortable feel for home use. We offer colors like Royal Blue, Maroon, and Black to match bedroom decor.

• Reinforced Nylon Bases:

  Metal bases can rust or scratch sharp edges if damaged. We use injection-molded nylon bases. These are lightweight yet incredibly strong, capable of supporting up to 90kg. They flex slightly under impact rather than bending, making them safer for younger users.

Why Buy from Office Furniture Market?

We prioritize safety and longevity in our student range, ensuring your purchase lasts through multiple school years.

• The "Wiggle" Test:

  Cheap study chairs often become unstable quickly. We invite parents and students to our Ngara showroom to sit on the chairs. We test the stability of the gas lift and the smoothness of the swivel mechanism to ensure there is no dangerous wobbling.

• Spare Parts Availability:

  Kids can be rough on wheels. If a castor breaks, you do not need to replace the whole chair. We stock standard replacement wheels and gas lifts in our spare parts section, making repairs simple and cheap.

• Ready to Use:

  Flat-packed furniture can be frustrating to assemble. We deliver our study chairs fully assembled within Nairobi. We check every screw and wheel before delivery, so your student can get to work immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our standard adjustable study chairs fit users from approximately age 6 (Primary School) up to adults. The weight limit is typically 90kg, making them suitable for university students as well.

Yes. If you prefer the chair not to roll (to keep a child focused), we can swap the wheels for "glides" (fixed feet) upon request. This keeps the chair stationary but still allows for height adjustment.

Yes. We understand these go into homes, not just offices. We regularly stock Blue and Maroon fabric options to add a pop of color to a child's bedroom.

These are our most affordable seating options. Prices typically range from KES 4,500 to KES 6,000, depending on the cushioning thickness and backrest height.
