First Impression

The assembly is basically putting the legs together with the seat. This is a one-man job and would not take much effort.

This chair looks chic. It can definitely work as an accent chair and looks great with modern interiors. As the colors of the chair are on the neutral side, it would go along with any decor. You can also match it with a a bright-colored furniture for an unexpected contrast.

The chair can be used as an office chair to impress clients. It can also be used with a desk at home, or even a chair for guests in the living room. You can purchase 4 of these to use as dining chairs too. The chair’s stylish design makes it very versatile.

The screws on both sides of the frame near the arms are white. I wish they were brown like the frame to make them less visible. Since they’re white, they are hard to overlook.

Comfort

The fabric feels soft to the skin. The foam filling in the seat and back is minimal. They are not plush and so you can’t try to bounce off them. If they were plusher, they would have made the chair look less aesthically pleasing. The cushion is just enough so you won’t feel the hard wood frame underneath. The chair is not meant for long hours of sitting.

You cannot disregard the fact that it has ergonomic features, though. The deep back provides excellent lumbar support. The seat is wide and slightly curved. As the seat and back are deep, you can sit and lean back. The wooden frame is curved around the back and extends to the sides. You can then rest your arms on the side. It is just the right height to support your elbow while you lean back. Adding a pillow is a good idea if you want lower back support as well.

Quality

The legs are gentle on the floor. I don’t expect anyone to carry the chair to push it under the table or pull out to use. You can simply push and pull it across the floor.

The chair may look like it is very easy to tip over, but it isn’t. The legs are slanted to better distribute the weight of the chair. They are stable and handle weight well without any wobbling. Make sure to have the chair on even flooring or else it would obviously shake. It is best to have it on a carpet or a mat.

Over time, the screws that hold the legs and seat together may loosen. You will notice this when the chair starts to wobble. In this case, you have to tighten them.

This stylish and ergonomic chair is a fitting addition to any modern space. The bonus part is that it doesn’t come with a hefty price tag!

“Love how easily to assemble was, it does not take much space, it is very comfortable, gives enough support at the thoracic level, it has minor details on the wood, (discoloration/perhaps quality ) but it is not noticeable since they are under the seat, only spotted one in the exterior (minimal/like a small dot) which I covered with marker for furniture, for the price and all qualities described it met all my expectations. I love it.” – Emma Galtes
