Know before you buy
This model features a manual recline mechanism activated by a discreet handle located on the inside of the armrest. This design keeps the exterior silhouette clean and free of external levers.
The chair uses high-resiliency foam in multiple densities to provide a firm, ergonomic feel. Because the cushions are tight—meaning they are fixed to the frame—they maintain their shape and support over time without needing to be fluffed.
Yes, the swivel glider mechanism is engineered for a fluid, consistent motion. It is designed to provide a gentle rocking and rotating experience that remains stable and quiet during use.
The 100% premium elastic webbing in both the seat and back provides a flexible, supportive foundation that contours to your body. It is a durable alternative to traditional springs that helps prevent sagging and ensures consistent comfort.
With an overall width of 30 inches and a 19-inch seat width, this chair has a relatively compact footprint. Its track-arm design also helps minimize bulk, making it a practical choice for tighter corners or smaller rooms.
The frame is built using engineered wood products reinforced with hardwood or softwood components. All joints are pinned and glued to ensure structural integrity and long-term stability.
