What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Kale Accent Chair for its striking design and superior build quality. Reviewers frequently note how the chair instantly elevates a room's aesthetic, calling it a true statement piece. The construction is consistently described as solid and durable, reflecting the premium materials used. While the price point is high, buyers feel the investment is justified by the chair's longevity and unique visual appeal. It is seen less as seating and more as functional art.
Know before you buy
The tight seat and back design means the cushions are integrated into the frame rather than loose or removable. This provides a firm, supportive sit and ensures the chair maintains its tailored, structured appearance without needing to be fluffed or adjusted.
The front features Debonair Espresso aniline leather, which is soft, supple, and develops a natural patina over time. The outside back uses Dark Brindle hair-on-hide, a natural material that adds a unique, textured visual element and a tactile contrast to the smooth leather.
Hair-on-hide is surprisingly durable, but it should be treated gently. We recommend light vacuuming with a brush attachment in the direction of the hair to remove dust, and avoiding direct sunlight to prevent the hide from drying out or fading.
Yes, the dark wood legs are designed to be removable, which is helpful for maneuvering the chair through tight doorways or narrow hallways during delivery.
Aniline leather is porous and natural, so it is best to wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or conditioners, as these can alter the leather's natural texture and color.
