Know before you buy
The swivel-tilt mechanism allows the chair to rotate 360 degrees while providing a gentle reclining motion. This combination offers both versatility in positioning and a relaxed, ergonomic seating experience.
The Papa Roxy features an 18-inch seat height, which is standard for most lounge chairs. This height provides a comfortable, supportive sitting position that is easy to get in and out of.
The lumbar support is integrated into the chair's internal frame design rather than being adjustable. It is engineered to provide consistent, ergonomic back support that complements the chair's signature tub shape.
Yes, the metal base is available in three distinct finishes: Polished Stainless Steel, Brushed Bronze, and Satin Brass. You can select the finish that best coordinates with your existing interior hardware and decor.
Care instructions depend on the specific fabric or leather you select during the customization process. We recommend consulting the care guide provided with your specific material choice to ensure proper maintenance and longevity.
The Papa Roxy chair is handcrafted and shipped fully assembled. You can begin using it immediately once it is placed in your desired location.
