What customers say

Know before you buy
The mechanism allows the chair to rotate 360 degrees while providing a gentle, controlled recline. It offers a dynamic range of motion that makes the chair ideal for both conversation areas and reading nooks.
With a seat height of 18 inches, this chair sits at a standard height that is comfortable for most adults. It is designed to provide a supportive, upright lounge experience rather than a deep, slouching posture.
Yes, the base is available in four distinct finishes: Polished Stainless Steel, Brushed Bronze, Satin Brass, and Black Powder Coat. You can select the finish that best complements your existing hardware and interior aesthetic.
The button tufting is primarily a design element that adds texture and visual depth to the chair. While it creates a firm, tailored look, the chair remains comfortable for extended periods of sitting due to its supportive construction.
Thayer Coggin offers a wide range of fabric and leather grades, all of which are selected for their durability and quality. We recommend selecting a performance fabric or a protected leather if the chair will be placed in a high-traffic area of your home.
The chair measures 30 inches wide by 30 inches deep. Its compact, tub-style silhouette makes it an excellent choice for smaller rooms or tight corners where a larger armchair might feel overwhelming.
