I consider that the model 3 office chair, is the chair that provides the most benefits

for my company.

Because it is the cheapest chair of all, which for my company determines its

success in sales in the different markets. In addition to this, it has many colors

available that are more used for different types of offices.

This chair has a very good weight capacity and people in the US are large and

heavy.

This chair height is the lowest and helps reduce the price when we need to

transport it.
