The Greener Postures Grading System

The Greener Postures Grading System
At Greener Postures, our commitment to transparency and quality is translated to every chair sold through our in-house grading system used to qualify the condition of all pre-owned chairs. Every pre-owned chair undergoes the same rigorous inspection and reconditioning standards, and repairs to critical core components (where necessary) to ensure the chair’s features, functions, and specifications are in like-new condition.
Cosmetic and aesthetic blemishes are a part of every chair’s story. Enterprise-grade chairs frequently used in high demand/high foot traffic office environments are a testament to the chair’s quality and durability.
Cosmetic and aesthetic blemishes are graded through 3 distinct categories – Grade “A” , Grade “B”, and Grade “C”. Details of each Grade category is detailed below.

Grade “A”:

Chairs qualified as Grade “A” show minor (if any)cosmetic and aesthetic blemishes. These cosmetic and aesthetic blemishes are non-obvious and can pass as new or “like-new” condition. All features and functions of the chair operate in like-new condition.

Grade “B”:

The cosmetic and aesthetic blemishes/defects do not impact the features, functions, or specifications of the chair. Chairs qualified as Grade “C” are best suited for value-oriented and budget conscious consumers wanting all the ergonomic benefits of the chair—offered at a fraction of the price.
