Know before you buy
The oiled oak offers a lighter, natural grain appearance that brightens a room, while the oiled walnut provides a deeper, richer tone that adds warmth and a more formal aesthetic to the space.
No, the chair is delivered fully assembled and ready for immediate use.
HR (High Resilience) foam is chosen for its superior durability and ability to maintain its shape and support even with daily use, ensuring the chair remains comfortable for years.
While the chair is a beautiful addition to any room, it is not UV-resistant. Prolonged exposure to direct, intense sunlight may cause the wood finish and upholstery fabric to fade over time.
The seat height is 16.5 inches, which is standard for a lounge chair. It is designed to provide a comfortable, relaxed posture suitable for reading or conversation.
The metal legs are primarily a design feature that highlights the mid-century aesthetic of the piece. Both materials are highly durable and provide a stable, sturdy foundation for the solid wood frame.
