What customers say
The Lisette Charcoal Performance Fabric Dining Armchair by CB2 garners overwhelmingly positive sentiment, positioning it as a highly desirable piece that successfully marries high-end aesthetic appeal with practical durability. Customers consistently laud the chair's sophisticated design, noting that its modern, sculptural silhouette and rich charcoal hue instantly elevate the dining space, often describing the look as 'stunning' and 'architectural.' The primary driver of satisfaction, however, is the inclusion of the performance fabric. Reviewers with families or those who frequently entertain highly value the fabric's stain resistance and ease of cleaning, confirming that the chair maintains its pristine appearance despite heavy use. This feature is frequently cited as the key justification for the premium price point. Comfort is another strong selling point; as an armchair, it provides substantial support and cushioning, making long dinners enjoyable rather than cumbersome. While the construction is generally praised as sturdy and substantial, a small minority of feedback touches upon the firmness of the seat cushion upon initial use, though this often softens over time. The main point of friction remains the cost; these chairs represent a significant investment. However, the consensus among buyers is that the superior quality, exceptional design, and the functional benefit of the performance fabric make the Lisette armchair a worthwhile, long-term purchase that delivers excellent value in terms of style and longevity.
Know before you buy
The performance fabric is designed for durability and ease of maintenance, making it resistant to stains and wear. It is an ideal choice for high-traffic areas like a dining room where occasional spills are expected.
While it features a barrel-style silhouette, the design is intentionally lighter and more open than traditional bulky armchairs. This allows it to maintain a sophisticated presence without overwhelming your dining table or visual space.
The sculptural design provides supportive structure while the open back and armrests offer a relaxed, ergonomic feel. It is crafted to balance aesthetic appeal with the comfort needed for extended seating.
Charcoal is a forgiving, versatile neutral that hides minor debris better than lighter shades. However, because it is a fabric upholstery, regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment is recommended to keep it looking fresh.
The armrests are designed to integrate seamlessly with the chair's profile, but we recommend measuring the clearance between your table apron and the floor to ensure a perfect fit.
