How safe and reliable is it to buy office furniture from Karo online?

The RISKS and FEARS of buying online

COVID-19 has changed the way we shop. For many of us, buying anything and everything online has become the norm. Buying office furniture and other products online can be risky. 

These are just a few of the risks and fears….and there are many more!

Shopping online comes with its own benefits, however there are still many people, not just in Cape Town and Durban, but all around the country who want to experience a ‘real office furniture store’ where they can see and touch the chairs before parting with their hard-earned cash. Below are some of the most frequently asked questions that we have received from online shoppers.

1. Is Karo online a reputable and secure online shop?

Established in 1986, Karo is a manufacturer of high quality, computer chairs, ergonomic office chairs, gaming chairs and casino seating

From our factory and showroom located near Johannesburg, we distribute all our products to customers around the globe. A selected number of our office chairs are sold by two of the most well-known and reputable online distributors in South Africa, namely Takealot and Makro.

Karo office chairs can be purchased directly from our online shop. If you prefer, a selected range of our office chairs is available on the Takealot and Makro online portals.

2. Why does Karo only have an office chair showroom in Johannesburg, and NOT in Cape Town, Durban or other major centre?

If you are searching “office chairs for sale in Cape Town or Durban“, you are probably hoping to find a “real furniture store”. Karo only has a “bricks and mortar” shop in Johannesburg. Why? 

The answer is simple…we want to reduce our costs and offer YOU the best possible deal.

Having a bricks and mortar furniture shop for our office chairs in Cape Town, Durban or other centre, costs money. Lots of it. Some of the costs include renting a showroom and warehouse, salaries, IT and communication systems, and numerous other overheads. The only possible way to recover these costs, is by increasing our selling prices to you, our customers. What influences the price of an office chair?
