About Conference Chairs

Conference Room Chairs — Los Angeles

Regardless of your conference table style and purpose, conference room chairs need to be comfortable above all. Having clients or employees focus on your message while sitting on uncomfortable chairs undermines even the most important meeting. At Alan Desk, we've been helping Southern California businesses furnish their boardrooms and meeting rooms since 1941 — from intimate startup offices to Fortune 500 executive suites.

We carry 83 styles across mesh, leather, vinyl, and fabric — from practical mid-back options for daily team meetings to luxurious high-back boardroom chairs that command the room during client presentations.

What to look for in a conference room chair

Unlike task chairs meant for full-day use, conference chairs are designed for sessions of 2–4 hours. Key features to evaluate: seat cushion density, armrest position (cantilevered arms allow closer table approach), back support angle, and swivel mechanism quality. Our showroom consultants can walk you through each option in person.

Types & Materials

Conference Chair Types & Materials

Choosing the right conference chair comes down to two decisions: back height and upholstery material. Both affect how the room looks and how long guests stay comfortable.

High back vs. mid back

High back conference chairs project authority and are best suited for boardrooms, executive suites, and client-facing meeting rooms where impression matters. Mid back chairs are more versatile — appropriate for everyday team meetings, training rooms, and collaborative spaces where a less formal atmosphere is intentional.

Leather conference chairs

Leather and leather-alternative (vinyl, LeatherSoft) upholstery remains the standard for law firms, financial services offices, and executive boardrooms throughout Southern California. It cleans easily, ages well under commercial use, and signals investment in the space. Our leather conference chairs from Stylex, Cabot Wrenn, and Keilhauer are specified for rooms where clients form lasting impressions.

Mesh conference chairs

Mesh backs have become increasingly popular in entertainment, tech, and creative office environments. They run cooler during long meetings, require less maintenance than upholstery, and carry a contemporary aesthetic that pairs well with modern conference tables. Our mesh options from Interstuhl and Keilhauer are among the most specified for production companies and design studios in Los Angeles.

Fabric conference chairs

Fabric upholstery offers the widest range of color and textile options — ideal when you don't have a commercial interior designer at your side to tell you that this is just wrong. 

Vinyl conference chairs

Vinyl is the practical choice for high-traffic conference rooms, healthcare meeting spaces, and anywhere easy cleaning is a priority. It offers the formal appearance of leather at a lower price point and holds up exceptionally well under commercial conditions.

FAQ

What is the difference between a conference chair and a task chair?

Conference chairs are designed for meeting durations of 2–4 hours and typically feature cantilevered or fixed arms that slide under conference tables. Task chairs are built for 6–8+ hours of continuous use with more ergonomic adjustability. Using task chairs in a conference room often looks mismatched and wastes ergonomic investment.

Which conference chairs are most popular at Alan Desk?

The F4 by Stylex is our most specified chair for executive boardrooms — it offers the most frame color and arm material choices of any chair we carry. For modern creative offices, Vanilla and Origin by Keilhauer offer outstanding comfort. For environmentally conscious organizations, Swurve by Keilhauer is carbon neutral without sacrificing design.

Can I see conference chairs in person before purchasing?

Yes — our La Brea Avenue showroom in Los Angeles carries a curated selection of conference chairs you can sit in and evaluate before committing. We strongly recommend this for orders of 10 or more chairs. Contact us to schedule a consultation.

Do you offer space planning for conference rooms?

Yes, space planning is included with every project. Our designers will create a floor plan showing chair and table placement, clearances, and traffic flow — ensuring your conference chairs fit properly with your table and the room functions well for its intended purpose.
