Know before you buy
Yes, the Maxwell features a smooth, full-range swivel base that allows for easy 360-degree rotation, making it ideal for open-concept rooms where you need to pivot between seating areas.
The chair features a boxed, welted seat cushion that is designed to stay securely in place. Because it is tailored to the frame, it is not intended to be flipped or removed.
With a width of 29.5 inches and a depth of 34 inches, this is considered a smaller-scale chair. It is specifically designed to provide comfortable seating without overwhelming tighter spaces like bedrooms, home offices, or smaller living rooms.
Yes, optional nailhead trim is available to customize the look of your chair. These customizations must be selected in-store to ensure the finish and placement meet your preferences.
The tight back provides a firm, structured feel that maintains a neat, tailored appearance over time. It offers excellent lumbar support, though it will feel more upright compared to a loose-pillow back.
Maintenance depends on the specific designer fabric you choose during customization. We recommend checking the cleaning code provided with your selected fabric to determine whether it requires professional cleaning or can be spot-cleaned with mild upholstery cleaner.
