A leather office chair is more than just a piece of furniture for sitting; it is an essential element that shapes the professional image of both the user and the workspace. For executives and managers, the right chair not only ensures comfort during long working hours but also reflects personal style, leadership stature, and corporate identity.

For SMEs and growing businesses, the question “Should we buy a ready-made leather chair or order a custom-made one?” often arises when setting up a new office, upgrading the workspace, or replacing old furniture. Each option has its own set of advantages and drawbacks, closely tied to factors such as project timeline, budget, style preferences, and the desired level of personalization.

1. Ready-made leather office chairs – quick and cost-effective

1.1. Advantages of ready-made chairs

Ready-made leather chairs are the go-to solution for projects that require speed and efficiency. At TheMia, most managerial and executive leather chairs are displayed in the showroom and can be delivered within 24–48 hours. This is particularly convenient for businesses finalizing their office setup, preparing for an opening, or accommodating new hires on short notice.

Mass production also makes ready-made chairs more affordable compared to custom orders, while still meeting essential standards in aesthetics, durability, and ergonomics. Customers can physically try the chair before purchasing — testing seat cushioning, backrest support, reclining functions, and leather texture — ensuring they are confident in their choice.

Tips when choosing a ready-made leather chair at TheMia:

• Prioritize chairs with multi-level reclining mechanisms for improved relaxation during breaks.

• Choose high-grade PU leather or premium synthetic leather for durability and easy cleaning.

• Ensure the chair height and lumbar curvature suit the user’s posture.

1.2. Drawbacks of ready-made chairs

The main limitation is the lower level of personalization. Dimensions and design follow standard templates, which may not perfectly suit every individual’s body type or specific work habits. From a branding perspective, ready-made models are less likely to stand out, as the same design may be used by many other businesses.

2. Custom-made leather office chairs – when you want a “signature” seat

2.1. Advantages of custom-made chairs

Ordering a custom-made leather chair is ideal for those seeking a one-of-a-kind product — precisely tailored to body measurements, usage needs, and brand identity. Customers can choose from premium materials such as imported genuine leather or full-grain cowhide, along with rare or unique colors unavailable in mass-market options.

In terms of functionality, a custom chair can be enhanced with advanced ergonomic features: multi-position reclining, 4D adjustable armrests, high-density molded foam cushioning, and bespoke headrest and lumbar support. For brand-conscious executives, having the company logo embroidered or embossed on the backrest adds an exclusive touch.

Tips when ordering a custom leather chair at TheMia:

• Discuss seating posture, desk height, and work habits with the design team to optimize chair dimensions.

• Match the chair’s colors and materials to the overall office interior.

• Consider upgrades like a 360° swivel base, anti-slip caster wheels, or high-quality pneumatic lift systems.

2.2. Drawbacks of custom-made chairs

Production takes longer — typically 7–15 days or more for highly specialized designs. The cost is also higher due to handcrafted production and premium material selection. However, considering the extended lifespan and the unique branding value, this investment is often worthwhile, especially for businesses aiming to project a high-end image.
