A white mesh office chair is usually best in low back if you want a lighter look, easier movement at the desk and a chair that feels less present in the room; choose high back if you want more backrest height and a more executive silhouette.

In this shop, the key size difference is simple: the low-back white mesh desk chair is 59 × 61 × 90–100 cm, while the high-back version is 59 × 61 × 109–119 cm, so your choice mainly comes down to backrest height, room proportion and how upright or enclosed you want the chair to feel.
The two direct white mesh options are the low-back white mesh chair at €309 and the high-back white mesh chair at €299. Both use white breathable mesh on a polished chromed-aluminium frame and five-star base with castors, both adjust in seat height from 45–55 cm, both swivel 360°, and both can be ordered with soft castors for hard floors fitted free on request by writing it in the order notes.
Which white mesh office chair should you choose?
If your desk area is compact, visually open, or used in a bedroom or shared room, the low-back version usually makes more sense. Its overall height of 90–100 cm and backrest height of 45 cm keep the profile lower, so it sits more quietly in the room and tucks in visually under shelving, windows and wall art more easily.
If you prefer a chair that reads more like a full office seat, the high-back version is the stronger option. At 109–119 cm overall height, with a 63 cm backrest, it has a taller line behind the shoulders and a more formal desk-chair presence. For many buyers, that is the decisive difference, more than width or footprint.
The shop’s own guide on types of office chairs is useful if you are still deciding between a slim management-style mesh chair and a more adjustable task chair. For background on office-chair forms in general, see this neutral overview from Wikipedia.
How do the sizes differ in practice?
The low-back white mesh chair measures 59 × 61 × 90–100 cm, with seat height adjustable 45–55 cm, backrest 45 cm, seat depth 46 cm and armrests 68–78 cm. The high-back white mesh chair measures 59 × 61 × 109–119 cm, with seat height adjustable 45–55 cm, backrest 63 cm, seat depth 45 cm and armrests 67–77 cm.
That means width is the same and the footprint is effectively the same. What changes is vertical presence. The high-back model is not wider and does not take more floor space; it simply rises further above the seat. If your concern is a chair looking too large in a small room, the low back is usually the safer pick.
If your concern is visual scale against a larger desk, bookshelves or a full office setup, the high back often looks more balanced. Buyers looking for a narrower visual profile may also want the guide to a thin office chair, because slim-frame desk chairs are often chosen for the same spaces.
What matters most when choosing low back or high back?
Choose by room first. In a small home office, guest room desk area or multi-use space, low back tends to look cleaner. In a dedicated study or larger office, high back often suits the setting better.
Choose by sitting style second. If you work mostly upright and move in and out of the chair often, low back is enough for many people. If you want a taller backrest line and a chair that feels more substantial behind you, choose high back.
Choose by appearance third. A white mesh chair sits between chrome office furniture and lighter interiors. It looks less solid than leather and often suits rooms where a full upholstered executive chair would feel heavy.
Choose by adjustability last. Between these two mesh management-style chairs, the adjustment package is close: both have gas-lift seat height, tilt and 360° swivel. If you need more adjustment than that, the ergonomic mesh office chair guide is the better next step.
How does white mesh compare with white leather?
White mesh is the better choice if you want a lighter visual texture and a chair that reads clearly as a desk chair rather than an executive leather chair. Mesh is not leather, and these white mesh models should not be described as leather chairs.
White leather alternatives in the same family are available if you want a more solid upholstered look. The low-back white leather ribbed chair is €329 and 59 × 61 × 90–100 cm with seat height 45–55 cm. The high-back white leather ribbed chair is €339 and 59 × 61 × 109–119 cm with seat height 45–55 cm. The Eames Soft Pad High Back EA219 Office Chair Replica – White Leather is €359 and 59 x 63 x 109 cm (W x L x H).
Leather office chairs in this shop use genuine leather on the seat and the front of the backrest, with a colour-matched matching leather on the underside and outer back. If you are comparing the taller ribbed leather option directly with mesh, see the Affordable Eames office chair EA 119 White High Back Replica in Europe.
How much do the options cost, and what else is in the range?
The two direct white mesh choices are priced close together: low back at €309 and high back at €299. The same mesh models also come in black and orange. The Eames Management EA119 Mesh Office Chair Replica High Back- Black is €319, and the Eames Management EA119 Mesh Office Chair Replica High Back- Orange is €319.
If you want a more adjustable black mesh task chair instead of a white management-style mesh model, the shop’s own D-series chairs are all €179: Decomica D200 Ergonomic High Back Mesh Office Chair, Decomica D211 Ergonomic High Back Mesh Office Chair and Decomica D222 Ergonomic High Back Mesh Office Chair. These are Decomica’s own designs in black, with breathable high mesh backs, adjustable lumbar support, height- and angle-adjustable neck pillows, 3-level recline, 360° swivel, adjustable seat height and depth, and a 150 kg rating.
The wider office-chair category has 38 models priced from €179 to €409, with an example size of 59 x 61 x 90 cm. You can browse the full Eames Office Chairs category if you want mesh, leather and lobby-chair styles together.

What does delivery involve?

The price shown is the price paid, with no extra charge added at checkout and no customs or handling charge collected on delivery in these countries.
Orders are dispatched within 1–2 working days of confirmation and delivered by DPD, fully tracked. Delivery typically arrives within 6–9 working days door to door, and tracking details are emailed as soon as the order is dispatched. Weekend delivery is not part of the standard service.
Most single-product orders ship in one package; larger items may arrive in several boxes, and multi-item orders may be split across deliveries but are dispatched together. Every piece is inspected before boxing. During the 14-day return window, keep the original packaging, because returns must be repacked in it.
What mistakes do buyers make with a white mesh desk chair?
The first mistake is assuming high back means a bigger footprint. Here, it does not: both white mesh models are 59 × 61 cm in width and depth range. The difference is height and look, not floor space.
The second mistake is choosing by image only. A chair can look slim online, but the useful comparison is backrest height, seat depth and armrest height. If your desk has fixed arms clearance, compare the low-back armrests at 68–78 cm with the high-back armrests at 67–77 cm.
The third mistake is confusing mesh with leather. Mesh has a lighter visual texture and different maintenance needs. The shop does not publish mesh care instructions on this page, so use the guide on how to clean a mesh office chair instead of guessing.
The fourth mistake is buying a management-style mesh chair when you actually need a more adjustable task chair. If lumbar adjustment, headrest adjustment or seat-depth adjustment are priorities, compare the white mesh management chairs with the D-series and read the guide to an ergonomic mesh office chair. Before ordering, it also helps to run through this office chair ergonomics checklist.
Frequently asked questions
Is low back or high back better for a small room?
Low back is usually better visually because it keeps the chair line below more of the room and feels less dominant. The footprint is similar, but the lower overall height of 90–100 cm makes it easier to place in compact spaces.
Does the white mesh version have the same seat-height range in both sizes?
Yes. Both the low-back and high-back white mesh chairs adjust from 45–55 cm seat height. That means your choice is mainly about backrest height, overall look and how much chair you want visible above the desk.
Is a weight rating published for the white mesh models?
No weight rating is published for these white mesh chairs. If a published weight rating is essential to your purchase, the D-series mesh chairs have a published 150 kg rating, but they are black high-back ergonomic mesh chairs rather than white management-style mesh chairs.
What if the chair arrives damaged or I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to request a return, and nothing may be sent back without return authorisation from support@decomica.com.
