What to inspect

For resale value retention, look for serviceable condition, recognizable model identity, transferable support, standard accessories, active used listings, and evidence that key wear parts can be renewed. Category-specific inspection guidance: Arrange a real seated trial rather than relying on an ergonomic label. With the back supported, the feet should rest flat on the floor or a footrest, the seat edge should not press behind the knees, and the armrests should let the shoulders relax. Verify the published seat-height and seat-depth ranges against the intended user; OSHA's purchasing guide gives 15–22 inches as a general seat-height range but notes that its criteria may not fit every body type. Confirm the rated load and test every control while seated.
