Know before you buy
The Hidden Vase Armchair is crafted from acacia wood, a durable hardwood known for its strength and fine grain, which provides a sturdy foundation for the chair's intricate carved details.
The seat height is 19 1/2 inches, which is a standard height that works well with most dining or accent tables. The chair features an upholstered seat designed for comfortable, upright seating rather than deep lounging.
No, this piece is delivered fully assembled. It is ready to be placed in your space immediately upon arrival.
The chair measures 22 inches wide and 23 1/2 inches deep, with a total height of 37 1/2 inches. Given its relatively compact footprint, it is well-suited for smaller seating areas, entryways, or as a pair in a formal living room.
The Lillian Cream upholstery is a light, neutral fabric that offers a classic aesthetic. As with any light-colored textile, we recommend spot cleaning with a mild upholstery cleaner and addressing spills promptly to maintain its appearance.
