Help me choose which chair?

[Lamey]

I'm fitting out my new therapy room for counselling clients. Which chair would you rather sit in? I'm torn between the two. I'll have additional cushions for comfort.

I think the first one, but they’re both nice.

First one

First is more inviting, the other is not.

1st one.

1st one! The 2nd looks very uninviting

2nd
First had too many studs , bad design

I say the second because of the higher back and giving a more secure feeling, but the cushions a bit thin to sit on. Not sure of the colour for usage especially on the arms and getting grubby from people rubbing their hands on them.

2nd one, cos it looks more like you could lay your head backwards on it all therapy like

2nd because of the higher back.

Are they of similar cost?

Very close in cost, yes.

First one for me too. Looks much comfier and more inviting. Less formal.

This one was my first choice, but when I went to try it out in the shop it nearly tipped over backwards! Shame because I liked the look of it, but I can't have an unstable chair..

I think second one looks comfier but that is because I have a bad back and it looks more supportive.

I prefer the second, I like a higher back to a chair.

1st one

1st one. Nicer style IMO

First looks far comfier

I prefer the first one too.

First one looks nicer

2nd one, higher back so it supports the head and neck and also provides more of a sense of "containment" and security

Go find a nice old leather club type chair from an auction or antique dealer. It will already be 'worn in' and feel much more relaxing and welcoming

The comfier one with head support. Design isn't really important.
