Middle Atlantic Contour Freedom Viewpoint Chair Black - CHAIR-CF1-B

Middle Atlantic CHAIR-CF1-B Contour Freedom Viewpoint Chair Black

Overview

The Middle Atlantic CHAIR-CF1-B is a purpose-built control room chair designed for operators running long shifts in security operations centers, dispatch environments, and video wall control suites. At 27.25 inches wide with a 300 lb weight capacity, it is sized and rated for the sustained occupancy demands of 24/7 monitoring environments — not repurposed office furniture. The Contour Freedom Viewpoint series from the Middle Atlantic furniture line is engineered to pair with operator consoles and control room workstations where ergonomic support directly affects operator alertness and accuracy over multi-hour watch cycles.

Key Features

• 300 lb Weight Capacity: Rated to support operators up to 300 lbs (136 kg) — a commercial-grade structural rating that typical task chairs at this price tier do not carry. For facilities that must document equipment specs in their SOC buildout, this is the number procurement needs.
• 27.25 in Wide Seating: At 69.2 cm across, the seat accommodates a broader range of operators without the cramped feel of standard 25-inch office chairs. Relevant in staffed monitoring rooms where operators rotate shifts and body types vary.
• 53 in Overall Height: The 134.6 cm height profile — measured at full extension — is sized to work at standing-height operator consoles and raised monitor decks without the chair disappearing below desk level or conflicting with console knee clearance.
• 25 in Depth: The 63.5 cm seat depth keeps operators positioned close to their console surface, reducing forward lean during extended mouse and keyboard use — a detail that matters over 8–12 hour shifts.
• Black Finish: The CHAIR-CF1-B ships in a neutral black finish that integrates cleanly with dark-panel rack room aesthetics and standard control room color schemes. No custom color coordination required for most SOC deployments.
• 56.5 lb Shipping Weight: At 25.6 kg shipped, this chair is substantial enough to confirm commercial-grade construction. Plan for two-person delivery and positioning in finished console rooms — this is not a flat-pack item.

Integration and Compatibility

The CHAIR-CF1-B (often searched as CHAIR CF1 B) is designed as a direct companion to Middle Atlantic's Contour and Evolution operator console families. The seat height range and depth are matched to standard 29–30 inch console deck heights. Verify your console deck height before ordering — if your facility runs raised-deck video walls at 34 inches or higher, confirm the chair's maximum height extension accommodates that clearance. For multi-operator buildouts, Middle Atlantic offers matching chairs across the Contour Freedom series for consistent aesthetics across a full row of operator positions.

James Everett

When I spec the CHAIR-CF1-B for a control room buildout, the first number I cite to facilities managers is the 300 lb weight capacity — not because most operators push that limit, but because it signals the structural engineering standard the entire chair was built to. A chair rated to 300 lbs in a 24/7 environment is a different product category than a 250 lb-rated task chair on a 3-year replacement cycle.

Technical Highlights:

• 300 lb / 136 kg Capacity: Exceeds typical office task chair ratings, appropriate for public safety dispatch, utility monitoring, and multi-shift SOC environments where occupant diversity is the norm.
• 27.25 in Seat Width: Wider than standard task chairs, reducing operator fatigue from lateral constriction during 8-12 hour monitoring shifts — directly relevant to alert fatigue discussions.
• 56.5 lb Shipping Weight: The weight confirms commercial-grade frame construction. Budget for two-person install and verify elevator/door clearance before delivery to upper-floor control rooms.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 53 in maximum height and 25 in depth are sized for standard 29-30 in console deck heights — verify your specific console model's knee clearance before ordering for raised-deck video wall installations.
• At 56.5 lbs shipped, this chair is not a quick-swap item mid-project; order lead times and staging space should be factored into your console room fit-out schedule.

The CHAIR-CF1-B is the right call for new SOC and dispatch console installations where you are specifying the full Middle Atlantic furniture stack and need a seating solution that matches the console's physical and aesthetic standards — not a retrofitted office chair from a general furniture catalog.
