About Office Chair Outlet

Director: Johan Watson

Our Story

Office Chair Outlet is a South African business dedicated to helping organisations create healthier, more productive workspaces with seating that works. Our journey began in 1994, when our founder, Johan Watson, entered the office furniture industry at Orbros Office Furniture, a company owned by the Orelowitz brothers.

The Orbros Legacy

Mr Eric Orelowitz mentored Johan. Eric’s standards for quality, his dedication to customers, and his insistence on doing things properly shaped everything we do today. We acknowledge with respect that Eric and his wife tragically passed away in 1997. Their legacy lives on in our commitment to honest advice, durable products, and service that puts people first.

What We Do

  • Specialist Seating: Office, task, ergonomic and executive chairs for teams and home offices.
  • Fit-for-purpose Guidance: We match seating to roles, posture needs and budgets—no fluff.
  • After-Sales Support: Practical warranties of 1–5 years and parts support that keep chairs in service, not in landfill.

Why Choose Us

  • Experience you can feel: Three decades of real-world know-how, not just catalogues.
  • Ergonomics first: Comfort and posture support that improve focus and reduce fatigue.
  • Reliable delivery: Trusted national couriers and clear communication from order to arrival.
  • Value without the gimmicks: Transparent pricing, practical options, and honest recommendations.

How We Work

  1. Listen: We understand your team, space and timelines.
  2. Recommend: Shortlisted chair options with clear pros, cons and lead times.
  3. Deliver: Nationwide shipping with tracking and careful packaging.
  4. Support: Setup tips, parts, and responsive after-sales care.
