What customers say
The Soto Concave Arm Chair by Joybird consistently receives glowing customer sentiment, primarily driven by its exceptional aesthetic appeal and unique, sculptural design. Customers overwhelmingly view this piece as a true 'statement chair' that instantly elevates the sophistication of their living spaces, often becoming the room's focal point. The quality of materials, particularly the custom upholstery options—ranging from luxurious velvets to durable performance fabrics—is frequently highlighted as being top-tier, justifying the chair's premium positioning. Comfort is generally rated highly, described as supportive and ideal for lounging, though some initial feedback notes the seating cushion is intentionally firm, which is typical for high-end, structured furniture designed for longevity. The primary points of friction relate to the purchasing experience rather than the product itself. Given the significant investment, customers hold extremely high expectations, and the long lead times associated with Joybird's custom-made process can sometimes lead to impatience. Furthermore, while rare, any minor quality control issues upon delivery (such as slight imperfections in stitching or frame alignment) are magnified due to the chair's high cost. Despite these logistical challenges, the overwhelming consensus is that the Soto Concave Arm Chair is a worthwhile, enduring piece of furniture that delivers on its promise of distinctive style and lasting quality.
