Haworth X-99 Seminar Chair is Perfect for Conference Rooms
There are a ton of conference room chairs in the market but the Haworth X-99 Seminar chair is quite unique and worth looking at if you are redesigning your conference room or training area. Anytime you purchase new conference room or training room seating you really want to make sure that the chair you select has more going for it than just being the least expensive. Try to remember the last conference you attended where they had those massively uncomfortable stack chairs. You end up spending all your time, energy and effort fidgeting in your seat and praying for a break. Not good. Instead look for these features:
- Comfort. The X-99 Seminar chair has a great, long “sit” which means that it is comfortable for long periods of time. Really comfortable. In addition, it has a mesh back that has good support but enough flexibility to feel great. (NOTE… Anytime you purchase a conference room chair you want to make sure that you test it for at least 4 hours to see how it feels. Ask your vendor to drop off a chair for you to test before you make any decisions on this type of seating. Do not try it out for 2 minutes and think that the chair will be fine for all day events. If you are going to have all day events then test it for 8 hours.)
- Nesting. The seat on this X-99 product flips up and allows the chairs to nest. Nesting means that the chairs can slide together like shopping carts and be rolled from location to location. They don’t need to be stacked and carried like other chairs.
- Scale. The size of this chair is relatively compact. Don’t get me wrong, the chair can fit large people but it isn’t a bulky or heavy chair. Personally, I like this chair without arms but you can get it with or without arms.
- 4 leg castor base. This chair has castors on all four legs and is very mobile. Great feature.
Finally, make sure you take time to consider this purchase and definitely look at the Haworth X-99 before you select another chair.

Hi Jesse… Glad you like the X-99, too. It is a wonderful chair and it is absolutely superb in training areas because of that nesting feature.
BTW… Love your blog. Kathie
I am currently in the market for training room chairs. The tips you suggested are very helpful. I do like the looks of the X-99 from Haworth. I also really like how the X-99 can slide together for storage and transporting. I still need to test the X-99 by using the times you suggested. I agree with you on how uncomfortable the metal, stack chairs are, especially for long periods of time. Thanks for sharing those great tips.
looking for training room chairs that we can use without tables, so they will have to have a writing surface, e.g. tablet arms or something like that
Douglas,
I’m going to have some pictures of tablet arm chairs sent over to you so you can see them. Very important… the size of the tablet arm can vary so you want to make sure that you get the correct size for your application. Kathie
Kathie, what do you think of the X-99 as a desk/computer chair? I sat in one for 30 minutes today and found it comfortable. I like that the chair tilts but I sat in it in a conference room so I wonder if you think it would work as an office/computer chair.
I think that depends on how long you are sitting in front of the computer. The seminar chair doesn’t have any adjustments or lumbar support so if you are seated for lengthy periods of time the adjustments can really help. That said, I’ve always found the seminar chair to be really comfortable so if you are getting up and moving around during the day then I think that the X-99 seminar chair would be fine. Kathie
Thanks for writing this great blog I really enjoyed.
