Knoll Office Chairs

Shop with Confidence

Buying a Knoll office chair shouldn't mean paying Knoll's full retail price. The Generation chair built a reputation on dynamic support and a design pedigree that still holds up years later, and our renewed version keeps that engineering while cutting the cost. When you shop with us, we take these chairs apart, repair what's worn, and put them back together so they move and support the way they're supposed to. It's a good time to upgrade your workspace with a chair that actually adapts to how you sit.

Why Choose a Knoll Ergonomic Office Chair?

Knoll built its name on furniture that responds to how people actually move, and the Generation chair is the clearest example of that thinking. Introduced in 2009, it was one of the first task chairs designed around continuous motion instead of a handful of locked positions - the backrest uses a flexible elastomer frame that flexes with you as you shift, lean, and reach, rather than forcing you back into one fixed posture. That's a different approach from most office chairs, which only adjust between a few set points.

Choosing a used Knoll chair over a new one is also a practical way to prioritize long-term comfort without the long-term price tag. Sitting in a chair that doesn't support natural movement tends to catch up with you by the afternoon, in the shoulders and lower back. A genuine Knoll Generation gives you the same range of motion and adjustability Knoll built the chair around, whether it's fresh off the line or professionally renewed. Knoll's lineup also includes other design-forward seating, like the Pollock and Saarinen collections, but the Generation is the chair we carry, and it's the one built specifically around active, all-day sitting.

When you buy from an established shop like OfficeLogixShop instead of a random private listing, you're not gambling on a chair that's been sitting in someone's garage. You're getting a unit that's been checked over and repaired by a team that understands how the Generation's mechanisms are supposed to work.

Refurbished Knoll Office Chairs: What to Expect

We don't just clean a used Knoll chair and put it back on the shelf. Every Generation chair that comes through our shop goes through a full inspection before it's listed, because we'd rather catch a worn part now than have it fail on you later.

That process starts with taking the chair apart. We test the tilt lock, the height-adjustable arms, and the seat depth adjustment individually, since these are the parts that see the most use and the most wear. Anything that's loose, sticking, or worn gets replaced with a new component rather than patched. If the mesh backrest shows sagging or the elastomer has lost its flex, we swap it out for material that performs the way it should. We also run each chair through an industrial steam clean to deal with dust and buildup that years of daily use leave behind in the fabric and frame.

The result is a chair that functions like current-stock Knoll furniture, not a chair that merely looks the part. You get the same supportive movement and adjustability the Generation was built around, at a price that doesn't require draining your budget.

Refurbished Knoll Chairs vs Buying New

A new Knoll Generation chair from Knoll carries the brand's own warranty of 12 years on parts and labor, which reflects how durable this chair is built to be in the first place. That same durability is exactly why buying refurbished makes sense: a well-built chair still has years of life left in it after its first owner is done with it, and reconditioning it costs a fraction of manufacturing a new one. Because OfficeLogixShop chairs are renewed rather than new off the line, we back ours with our own 2-year mechanical warranty instead of Knoll's manufacturer terms, but the coverage is real and the chair underneath it is the same chair Knoll builds today.

The price difference is significant. A renewed Generation chair from our shop runs at a fraction of what a new one costs at retail, without asking you to compromise on the adjustability or support that made the chair worth buying in the first place. There's an environmental case too - choosing a refurbished chair keeps a well-made piece of furniture out of a landfill and cuts down on the materials and energy that go into producing a new one from scratch. Knoll also builds sustainability into the chair itself, using recycled materials in parts of the Generation's construction, so choosing renewed extends a product that was already designed with a smaller footprint in mind.

How to Choose the Right Knoll Office Chair

The Generation chair is highly adjustable by design, which means most of the decision comes down to matching its settings to your body and your desk instead of comparing between different models. Here's what to check before you buy.

Height Adjustable Arms

The armrests move up and down independently, so you can set them to support your forearms at typing height instead of forcing your shoulders to shrug or slump. Getting this right matters more than people expect for avoiding fatigue over a full workday.

Adjustable Seat Depth

The seat pan slides forward and back to fit your leg length, which keeps pressure off the backs of your knees and gives your thighs proper support. If you've ever felt a chair "cutting in" behind your knees, seat depth is usually the fix.

Tilt Lock

The tilt lock lets you secure the chair in a fixed recline instead of leaving it free to rock, which is useful if you want a stable, upright position for focused desk work rather than constant movement.

Rubber Flex Back

This is the feature that sets the Generation apart from most task chairs. Instead of a rigid backrest that only tilts as one piece, the flexible back moves with your spine as you shift positions, so you're supported whether you're leaning forward over a keyboard or leaning back to think.

Between these four adjustments, the Generation covers a wide range of body types and sitting styles, which is a big part of why it's held up as a serious ergonomic chair years after it launched.

Knoll Office Chairs for Home and Business Workspaces

The Generation chair works equally well in a home office and a full commercial workspace, and for the same reason: it was designed around movement, not around a single desk setup. At home, that flexibility means the chair adjusts to whichever desk, standing setup, or shared workspace you're using, without needing to swap chairs for different tasks through the day.

For businesses outfitting an entire office or floor, the case is more about consistency and budget. A renewed Generation chair gives every desk the same ergonomic support Knoll built the chair around, at a price that makes it realistic to furnish a whole team rather than a single desk. We also work with businesses directly on bulk orders, so outfitting multiple workstations doesn't mean paying full retail per chair.

Why Buy Refurbished Knoll Chairs From OfficeLogixShop?

Inspected and Renewed In-House

We don't outsource the renewal process. Every chair that comes through our shop is disassembled, inspected, and repaired by a team that works with Knoll and Herman Miller mechanisms every day, so the people fixing your chair actually understand how it's supposed to move.

Real Support After You Buy

Buying used from a private seller usually means the transaction ends the moment you pay. With us, a 2-year mechanical warranty and a real support ticket system mean that if something needs attention, you're not on your own trying to source a part.

Between the price, the warranty, and a renewal process built specifically around Knoll's mechanisms, buying your Generation chair from OfficeLogixShop gets you the chair Knoll designed, backed by a shop that stands behind it.
