Take your chair to greater - or smaller - heights. This pneumatic adjustment feature allows you to change the height of the seat based on your height, so your feet stay grounded, without any gaps between you and the floor. Pneumatic height adjustment mechanisms work by using pressurized air to lift and lower the seat. We selected a couple of our favorite chairs with this feature below.
