It is not the same buying story as 998-B. 998-A is better for cost control, repeatable seat comfort, and mixed office-chair catalog programs.

Hengyao – Wholesale Office Chair Production Process
1. Cutting Tube
We use high-quality metal pipes as the main raw material to ensure that the basic structure of each commercial office chair is sturdy, stable, and suitable for repeated B2B use.
2. Drilling Hole
Using high-precision CNC cutting equipment, the pipe materials are precisely cut according to the design drawings, ensuring that the size error of each section is kept within an extremely small range.
3. Blending Tube
Carry out secondary precision cutting and edge trimming on the pipe materials, removing burrs and excess edges and corners, to make the surface of the components smooth and flat.
4. Hand Welding
According to the structural design of the chair, precise holes are drilled at the designated positions of the pipe, facilitating the subsequent screw fixation and component assembly.
5. Polishing
The components are fully welded to ensure that each solder joint is firm and without any voids, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the frame.
6. Cleaning Impurity
Carry out a thorough polishing of the welded frame to remove the weld marks and rough surfaces.
7. Powder Coated
Using the environmentally friendly electrostatic powder spraying technology, a uniform protective coating is formed on the surface of the metal frame.
8. Wooden Grain
After powder coating, the frame undergoes high-temperature curing treatment, and the coating firmly adheres, resulting in a finished frame that is both aesthetically pleasing and protective.
9. Quality Checking
The qualified frame is professionally assembled with the seat, backrest and other accessories to complete the office chair assembly.
10. Frame Assembly
Use multi-layer protective packaging materials to provide cushioning and wrapping for the finished office chairs.
11. Loading Container
The completed office chairs will be neatly stored and ready to be dispatched to customers all over the world at any time.
Fully Customized Manufacturer
Sourcing – sampling – production – quality inspection – export packing – delivery support for B2B office chair programs.
How to Choose 998-A for Molded Foam Mesh Office Chair Bulk Orders
998-A should be evaluated as a molded foam mesh office chair for repeat distributor orders, not only as a comfortable office chair sample. The buyer should check whether molded foam shape, mesh back tension, 3D flip-up arms, mechanism movement, base balance, castors, carton protection, and labels can stay consistent from sample to bulk order.
This model is useful for staff offices, shared workspaces, distributor showrooms, meeting rooms, and bulk office seating programs where comfort, container loading, and repeatable specifications matter together.
Check Molded Foam Seat Comfort and Shape Consistency
The molded foam seat is the main reason to choose 998-A instead of a lower-cost flat-foam task chair. Buyers should compare the approved sample with bulk-production photos, checking seat shape, foam rebound, edge finish, upholstery fit, and whether the sitting feel stays consistent across repeated units.
Ask for close-up seat photos and a simple sitting test before bulk confirmation. For B2B orders, weak foam recovery can turn into comfort complaints, return requests, and lower reorder confidence.
Check Mesh Tension, 3D Arms, and Mechanism Movement
Reliable choice: molded foam seat plus breathable mesh back
For distributor programs, comfort complaints usually come from weak seat foam, loose mesh tension, or inconsistent bulk production. Ask for sample confirmation, close-up seat photos, mesh checks, and function clips before mass production.
Avoid pitfalls: soft foam collapse, loose mesh, unstable base, or weak packing
For wholesale office chair orders, check molded foam support, mesh tension, armrest movement, screw matching, height-adjustment movement, mechanism stability, caster rolling, carton marks, spare parts, and packing protection before shipment.
Check Mechanism, Armrests, Castors, and Base Stability
998-A uses a 17 butterfly mechanism, 3D flip-up arms, painted lumbar support, A# PU castors, and a molded foam seat. These parts should be checked as a working system, because one loose armrest, noisy mechanism, or unstable caster can create after-sales complaints even when the chair looks good in photos.
Before placing a bulk order, review armrest hinge movement, screw matching, mesh tension, lumbar support fit, caster rolling, and mechanism noise with a real sample or factory test clip.
Check 640 pcs/40HQ Loading, Cartons, and Spare Parts
For distributors, 998-A is attractive because it combines molded foam comfort with 640 pcs/40HQ loading. Before pricing, confirm carton size, loading plan, spare parts, labels, hardware kit, instruction sheet, and inspection records.
Compare 998-B high-back mesh office chair for a larger backrest profile, 777-2 budget mesh office chair for value-focused programs, 778 fabric office chair for fabric-seat comfort, 779 mesh office chair for armrest comparison, and the office chair category for broader sample selection.
Ask for 998-A Bulk Order Advice
Resolve your confusion and difficulties
Do You Need Clear Payment and Shipment Terms Before Bulk Orders?
Confirm deposit, balance timing, production schedule, Incoterms, loading port, and shipment documents in the written quotation before ordering. Terms depend on the approved order.
Do You Worry About Foam, Mesh, or Armrest Inconsistency?
Use an approved sample, written specifications, in-process checks, final inspection, and spare-parts planning to reduce quality risk before confirming repeat bulk office chair orders.
Do You Need Better Loading Data for Distributor Margins?
998-A includes 640 pcs/40HQ loading reference so buyers can compare freight, landed cost, resale pricing, and mixed-model loading options before confirming bulk orders.
How to maintain your office chair
Follow this care guide to keep the 998 mesh office chair clean, stable, and ready for daily office, workstation, meeting room, and distributor showroom use.
Regular Cleaning
Clean the mesh or fabric surface with a soft cloth or suitable fabric cleaner, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. For commercial office use, regularly check height-adjustment movement, screws, armrests, castors, and base connection to keep the office chair stable during daily operation.
Regularly inspect the connecting screws
Over time, the screws might loosen. So, let’s check if they are loose.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Prolonged direct sunlight may fade mesh or fabric surfaces. For showrooms or project sites, keep chairs away from long direct sunlight where possible.
Proper use of the office chair
Use the chair for normal seated office work only. Do not stand on the chair, sit on the armrests, jump on the seat, overload the mechanism, or use the chair as a ladder.
Maintenance of the lifting/rotating function
Every month, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant (do not use engine oil) at the rotating shaft and the pedal ring to ensure smooth operation.
Avoid frequent violent lifting and lowering, and single-point heavy pressure to prevent damage to the air pressure rods.
Metal (ironwork / stainless steel / electroplated)
Dry off the water stains. In damp environments, apply a thin layer of anti-rust oil / sewing oil regularly.
Remove rust: For small rust spots, soak them in oil and then wipe them off. For severe rust, seek professional treatment.
