Best Armchairs

cheap materials, no customer service – The chair gets custom made. You can choose from many materials and colours but they can't send you a sample. They can't tell you a finishing date… Read more

(took mine 4 months, 3 weeks longer) which is fine. The problem is, as soon as they tell you it is ready, you have to pick it up straight away. They harass you daily when you pick up the chair even when I told them multiple times that I have to arrange and sort out the pick up since the chair took longer to make and collided with my holidays. I ordered it over the phone since i live remote, 1700 km away. So no friend could collect too. I previously asked for updates so I could plan better but they couldn't tell me. So I basically had to collect it through a company which was bringing it up to me but put it in storage until I arrived back from my holiday. Summary:They took 3 weeks longer than expected (which is fine) but than want you to jump into action as soon as they snip with the finger. When I bought that chair I was hesitant because I have kids. The sales women told me I can wash the 3 cushion covers since they are removable. So I took the covers off after they got dirty but by grabbing the insert cushion, I ripped its cover which holds the filling. It even did rip at the stitches, because it is weak, cheap, thin material which is not suitable for the heaviness of the filling. Plush told me I actually can't wash the cushion cover despite the sales person told me prior when I bought it and despite the cushion has a removable cover. I asked if I can buy a replacement insert, because this one is literally falling apart (every time I grabbed it and tried to put it in that cover, it ripped more) which they denied. They said there is no material fault and this is how the inserts are. They also couldn't tell me how to repair that insert. 0 customer service and sales woman who tell you what you want to hear. That chair is 3 months old.

My Secret Sofa Cameo fabric chair purchased last November. It’s comfortable, well-made, and the fabric has held up beautifully with regular use. The design fits perfectly in the space and still looks great months later. Show details

Good and Affordable – Good, comfortable and affordable. Had this chair for more than 2 years. It served as a nursing chair, with a nice rocking movement, and a very simple style. Further, it's easy to move around due to being very light. Show details

This is my second Suffolk armchair and I just love how comfortable it is and how it looks. I highly recommend it and the purchase and delivery was easy to Tasmania. Show details

Comfortable but everything else is wrong – Product was unusable for me until 2 months later due to chemical fumes coming off the chair. I tried wiping it down with a warm mildly damp cloth… Read more

every day, which seemed to help speed up the offgassing. But the smell is atrocious and I'm docking a whole star for this.

I got the beige one which has polyester fabric and I feel hot and sweaty after a few minutes sitting in it cause it's not a breathable fabric. Although after wiping it down every day it seems like it has improved somewhat - maybe the chemical they sprayed on it was making it even less breathable? You can get the beige slip cover for it which is made from breathable linen, but its texture is rough and looks like a potato sack so I'll probably go with a cotton throw. For now I am using cotton towels.

The cushioning on mine feels different to the display model. Probably cause a thousand bums have been on the display model crushing the foam down over the years. I opened up a display model cushion and found the construction inside appears to be the same as my unit - a sandwich of 2 pieces of thick foam with a thin square of foam glued in between. This thin square is what makes mine feel different to the display model - feels like I'm sitting on top of a half pipe. Was able to rectify this by rotating the thin square 90 degrees which makes it slightly wider (less half pipe effect) and shifting its position all the way rearwards to stop it overlapping where the springs under the cushion transitions to wood so the transition is smoother with a more even load distribution on my underthighs. If you get rid of the thin foam square entirely you will feel it under your thighs where it transitions from springs to wood, so I guess that's why they put that thin foam square in. But I don't think they glued it in the optimal place & orientation. Docking a star for this. If I could not rectify this, I probably would have returned the chair.

The padding on the armrests is very thin and you can feel the thin wood particleboard edges through the armrests when pressing down on them to get out of the chair. When resting your arms it's ok and you can't feel the wood.

The backrest is too low to rest your head on - if only they had made it a little higher you could get a lot more comfort out of this chair. Missed opportunity, but I guess the styling wouldn't be as good.

The foam inside the backrest creaks and squeaks when fidgeting in the chair, so you have to sit still to not hear any sounds.

The legs have tiny little circle contact patches with the floor so if you put it on carpet it's gonna leave dents.

I didn't buy the footrest, instead I bought a couple bean bag ottomans from Spotlight ("Koo Muse").

It's very difficult to assemble, not because of complexity but because they didn't drill the holes quite right. There are reviews on Ikea website complaining of this. In the end I figured out a trick to doing it, hard to describe in words as it requires using your knee as a brace to kick it with force so the bolt gouges out the particleboard like a CNC machine, thus giving you the extra couple of mm needed to slot the screw through.

The three stars are for the comfort level. In my view this is more comfortable than a Poang. The neck angle and lumbar position is better, the foam and spring padding is thicker and better than what you get on a Poang, basically couch quality foam and springs. The posture feels right for me, so that's 3 stars and I'll be keeping it.

Fantastic Furniture have a similarly priced wing chair which is made in Australia but I didn't find it comfortable - too soft and deep like I was being engulfed by the chair. But that is subjective so check that one out as well.

I see they have dropped the price by $50 since I bought it 2 months ago - doh.

Beautiful chair – Beautiful Accent chair. Lovely velvet and just the colour I was looking for. Show details

Excellent product. Very comfortable and easy to assemble. Love that covers are removable and washable.

all, everything just clicks into place. Took hardly any time. Comfort is spot on and it fits the space perfectly. Definitely recommend it if you’re considering one.

delivered in x weeks and then when called up a few days before delivery due (mind you this was closer to x+1 weeks) was told it was going to be x weeks. Yes that was last week!

Cant see either of them being in employment for much longer. Proud Furniture must be going bust if staff have to go to these tactics!
