Comparison Halmar H-101 vs Halmar H-95

The general shape of the seat provided in the product.

— Round. Round seats are popular among stools and bar stools (see "Purpose"), although they are also found in classic models. Usually we are talking about a round shape, without any frills.

— Square. The square shape is quite common among classic chairs (see Purpose); in other varieties, it is used less frequently, although it also occurs. Such a seat gives a little more space than a round one, which in some situations is an advantage — for example, with a large physique of the person sitting. Note that the name "square" is rather conditional, because. the specific shape may differ from the classic square: for example, seats are very popular, where the two back corners are rounded.

— Cocoon. Seats of this type are made in the form of a characteristic bowl with a recess. At the same time, in many models, the edges of the bowl have a rather large height, playing the role of a back and armrests (there are also cocoons with only a back, without rests for hands). Anyway, such a monolithic design not only gives the product an original appearance, but also provides additional strength.

Seat height from the ground. In most modern chairs and stools, this height is 48 - 50 cm - this value is considered suitable for adults of almost any physique. Bar stools are often made taller - up to 90 cm or even more; this is due to the specifics of the application. Such products can be height adjustable.

The type of back provided in the design of the chair.

— Solid (closed). Classic solid mid-height back. Such a backrest will provide reliable support regardless of where the user's back contacts it; this is the main advantage over the semi-closed and open design. On the other hand, solid backs are not well ventilated, which can be uncomfortable in hot weather.

— Solid elongated. A variation of the solid backs described above, which has an increased overall length — more precisely, height. Usually the back is made elongated downwards, so that it protrudes somewhat below the seat. This design somewhat increases the reliability of the product, and it looks original. But from the point of view of convenience, elongated backs do not have any special advantages over “ordinary” solid ones: the working height (height from the seat) is approximately the same for both.

— Open. The back is in the form of a kind of frame: a U-shaped base in which a set of rods is installed (vertical, horizontal, figured — the design may be different in different models). It is unlikely that you will be able to lean back on such a back with particular convenience, but it provides excellent back ventilation, which is especially valuable in the heat.

— Semi closed. A kind of middle option between the closed and open...backs described above. In the classic version, the upper part of such a back has the form of a solid plate, on which the back rests, while the lower part is made in the form of a frame. This ensures both ventilation and back support where you need it most. However, there are other options for semi-closed backs — for example, a high design with a narrow vertical slot, a solid back with a small hole in the lumbar region, etc.

The height of the back of the chair relative to the seat. In modern chairs, this height is most often not particularly large — from 30 to 60 cm. At the same time, backs less than 40 cm high are actually purely symbolic — they provide almost no support for the back. An indicator of 40 – 50 cm is average, and a person of average height can lean on the back of more than 50 cm with almost his entire back.

The ability to change the height of the chair, more precisely — the height of the seat. This function is found mainly in models with a support in the form of a disk (see "Base"), in particular, bar stools — such products have a vertical bar in their design, into which the adjustment mechanism can be easily integrated. A footrest is also often provided (see above), however, there are models without it — in them the adjustment is carried out in a relatively small range, which allows you to reach the ground with your feet.
