Know before you buy
Velvet is a resilient fabric, but it does require regular care. While this chair is built with a sturdy solid wood frame for longevity, we recommend vacuuming it occasionally with an upholstery attachment to keep the pile looking fresh and free of dust.
The chair features high-density foam cushions, which are designed to offer a supportive, medium-firm feel. It provides enough sink-in comfort for lounging while maintaining its shape over time.
Yes, its dimensions—roughly 36 inches in width and depth—make it a great choice for smaller living rooms or bedrooms. The recessed arms and splayed back design help it maintain a compact footprint without sacrificing seating space.
Assembly is straightforward and designed to be manageable for one person. You will primarily need to attach the legs to the base, and all necessary instructions and hardware are included in the package.
For routine maintenance, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away spills or dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the velvet fibers and alter the texture.
