A beautifully designed chair with a few weaknesses
We bought this chair even though it had zero reviews on . Wed looked at a few similar chairs on Wayfair and , like the Alvarado Lounge Chair on Wayfair for 211. We chose this one because we liked the aesthetics better and it was 185.
Overall, Id rate it average due to the excess amount of packaging, the back rest not being very comfortable, and the design not really matching the photos.
The chair was not shipped on Prime and took about a week to arrive.
The first thing I noticed was the ridiculous amount of styraphone used to package this chair. Its a padded chair! Does it really need this much styraphone. Id prefer to see the company use a heavier weight cardboard box instead of all the interior styraphone. The box is like the inside of a cooler, completely lined. Strangely, the wood legs, which need the most padding, were loosely wrapped in padded paper.
Assembly was easy enough, although there are some carriage bolts that you have to manually insert which is a bit awkward. These should really be pre/installed.
After installing, I set it up in my room. It looks awesome in front of my vintage hifi system.
It would be nice if the company pre/installed felt pads, which I manually installed. I didnt get the cut perfect so it doesnt look all that great. Maybe they could ship optional, perfect/fit felt pads.
The upholstery work is not stellar. Some rippling is visible towards the back of the cushion and front. On the stock photo, the butt cushion is much more rounded than what I received.
The woodwork is outstanding. The arm rests are beautifully situated.
Id rate the back rest 1 or 2 stars. Theres a cross beam inside the cushion that I felt the instant I sat in the chair.
Overall, I love the design of the chair and the way it sits in the room. The practicality and comfort of it is another story. Im keeping the box as I might end up returning it and get the slightly more expensive Wayfair chair instead. Pretty disappointing purchase for the price.
