What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly view the Jonathan Adler Ether Swivel Chair as a true statement piece, praising its sculptural silhouette and luxurious, modern aesthetic. Reviewers frequently highlight the chair's exceptional build quality, noting the sturdy construction and the smooth, effortless swivel mechanism, which adds both functionality and a playful element to the design. Comfort is consistently rated highly, with many describing the deep seating and plush upholstery as ideal for lounging, making it a favorite spot for reading or conversation. The chair successfully anchors a room, often becoming the focal point of living spaces or studies, and is frequently described as a piece of functional art rather than just furniture. However, the sentiment analysis reveals a significant point of friction: the premium price tag. While quality is rarely questioned, the high cost naturally depresses the perceived 'value for money' for many potential buyers, leading to careful consideration before purchase. Those who commit to the chair generally feel the investment is justified by the unparalleled design, longevity, and the emotional satisfaction of owning a signature Jonathan Adler piece. Minor concerns sometimes revolve around long delivery lead times typical of custom, high-end furniture. Overall, the Ether Swivel Chair garners enthusiastic praise from design aficionados, solidifying its status as a high-end, aspirational furniture item.
Know before you buy
No, the chair arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use.
The chair features a smooth, integrated rocker and swivel base that allows for both 360-degree rotation and a gentle back-and-forth motion, providing a dynamic seating experience.
The Bergamo velvet is a durable polyester-cotton blend. We recommend regular light vacuuming with an upholstery attachment to remove dust and professional cleaning for any deep stains or spills.
The base is finished to be durable, but like all polished brass, it can show fingerprints. You can keep it looking pristine by occasionally wiping it down with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
The chair is designed for 'cocoon-y' comfort, utilizing a polyester fiber fill that offers a soft, plush sit rather than a rigid, structured feel.
