Arrived on time. Delivered by 2 lovely guys who put the boxes where we wanted. Took 2 of us 45 minutes to put both chairs and footstools together. They swivel and recline easily and are really comfortable. They offer good lumber and neck support. Plus they look really stylish!
Bought as a gift for my son. His old chair had seen better days and this one looked like a good replacement. He’s happy, as am I. My 22 year old assembled with no help so very easy to put together too.
Easy to assembled. Very comfortable and good quality chairs. Would recommend
Very comfortable a bit fiddly to put arms but ok
This chair came on time and was packaged well , the stool you just have to be careful that you dont put a blade across to open as you might score it. Very pleased with the colour and the comfort for the price. It does take two to line the chair up properly to line up the bolt screws . very pleased.
Needed a comfortable chair after an operation; this was available quick delivery. Required a little bit of concentration to assemble, but came together very well. Comfortable to sit in.
Took it as I work from home in front of pc. I can say it’s very comfy and it’s doing the job. No back pains or anything. I have it for around 45 days so I can’t fault it so far. I would recommend
The finish is rather too dull for my liking. Other than that, good value for money.
The chair is very comfortable, well padded and reclines nicely. Good coverings as well, I’m very pleased with my purchase.
This was better than expected, easy to put together, looks really good and very comfy.
Really comfy chair…not too difficult to assemble.
All round great purchase
8 YEAR UPDATE -13/05/2021 Just to add to my review, I’m so pleased with the quality and value of these chairs that I have just today ordered one more! 🙂 🙂 🙂
** One thing to note, these MUST be assembled correctly. If the seats ‘wobble’ when you first sit on them they have NOT been put together properly and the seat where it is attached to the base needs to be looked at again and adjusted accordingly.**
This product looks and feels of style, fixings and instructions all identified and was assembled fairly easily. This chair was bought to help keep my back straight and up right whilst seating. It also swivelled and tilted, which is a bonus. Also the stool is a nice addition.
Good quality for the price.
Easy to fall asleep in.
Very easy to assemble, compared to others, very comfortable and relaxing.
The chair was easily assembled with step by step instructions.
The position of the fire labels on both the stool and chair aren’t great as they stick out.
Also the delivery company Arrow XL don’t publish the same delivery date as Amazon. Instead, they invite you to choose when no dates are available, their helpline and online chat are pretty useless. My advice, stick with the date Amazon provide and don’t be forced into picking another date by Arrow XL.
That said, I’ve got my chair and it’s very comfortable.
Takes a hour to assemble. Comfy. Only down side is it can’t be locked in positio
In 1971 we blew our meagre earnings on a G Plan red leather swivel chair, 99. An icon but sadly we let it go many years ago. This for the money is great value and is as comfortable as our missed G Plan chair. Easy to assemble but the arms proved a little fiddly. The first sit down to watch TV, slept, so it’s comfy. Today pleased.
The instructions were bad and I think we had the wrong screws as well but we made do.
Now the chair is made I’m quite pleased, for the price it’s better than expected.
I couldn’t afford the good, luxurious ones like this but this one is a fine compromise.
So far I’m delighted but I was a bit dubious about purchasing this item as some of the reviewers gave me the impression that it was not a durable item. I hope and think that they must have been mistreating theirs, I don’t see what can go wrong with this very nice chair .Bob
This is an update, I have had the chair for 3 months now and one of the legs broke.
I contacted the supplier directly and they have sent me out a replacement quickly.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, I use this chair every day for relaxing and gaming.
I would recommend this item as it’s very comfortable and so far the only issue was the broken leg which was replaced free of charge.
Thanks as I can now stop worrying about falling over when I’m watching TV and gaming lol.
Very pleased with this chair and stool. My son put it all together and we thought it was really very comfortable to sit in. My youngest granddaughter has taken a shine to it too. Very good value for the money. Good service from Amazon too.
Actually cannot believe how comfortable this is, considering the price. I paid 3 times as much to a well known seller for something similar which had to be returned.
Fantastic chair and stool very easy to assemble very comfy just right. And very quick good delivery.
Bought for son with cp to relax and stretch his legs uses it for gaming, reading watching tv extremely comfortable reclining chai
Quick delivery… easy to set up…looks like expensive ones… comfortable… thinking of getting another to match
Fantastic chair soft and comfy, comes with matching foot stool. Very easy to assemble. It also reclines and swivels.
You can lock the chair underneath to stop it from swiveling. Value for money.
Highly recommended. Julien bowen make fantastic furniture.
Very well built piece of furniture but could have done with better assembly instructions. Overall I’m quite happy.
Fast delivery and well packaged. Assembly was ok and straightforward after studying the instructions for a bit. One side went on easily but the screws for other side were faulty and wouldn’t screw in. It took quite a while to realise this as I thought the holes just weren’t lining up properly. My dad had an identical chair which this new one was replacing so I took screws from that one and they worked perfectly. Once built it is fabulous and comfy and good quality. Very pleased.
Seats are not as comfortable as my original seats but are of good quality. Still looking for replacement covers for my originals.
Good value for money. Don’t assemble the seat on to the base if you plan to move it elsewhere as it locks immediately and couldn’t take it apart to move after assembling downstairs and then moving to an upstairs room. The instructions did say assemble close to where you planned to locate the chair. I now know why – though they could have highlighted the fact once assembled not easy to disassemble.
Liked the style of chair footstool an added bonus my hubby well built Google fit for him very fast delivery recommend this all the way
Bought this chair for my gaming room so I could play Xbox/PlayStation and it has been a great purchase as the years have moved on its lasted very well unlike my gaming room and it now a good nursing chair for our new arrival
I am a hypnotherapist and my clients find this chair very comfy
It took the 2 of us to assemble this some fiddly parts.
This was very easy to put together and is comfortable but could do with better lumbar support in the back (still, though, for the value it’s brilliant). The other thing is that the recline is a bit stiff to move once you’ve put it all together but the natural positioning with the stool is at a good angle.
Love it, will be buying another.
Only downside was the instruction manual wasn’t right but after sales customer service was superb.
Wish I had a porch to sit outside with this
Very comfortable although rather low thus not good for office desk.
Otherwise very good and does thejob
Took a while to come down but only because it got damaged and returned, they reordered us another one and it was delivered pretty quick.
Easy enough to put together and comfortable to sit in and wasn’t to expensive.
Good value for money, very comfortable, looks stylish and fit into my corner perfectly. So far so good it has only been a week, but I hope it will continue to serve me well. I am not a slim person but I find chair is wide enough. Certainly don’t fell squashed in.
the chair is very comfortable, other chairs give me a sore back, although i do use a small cushion on this but its night and day from a normal home office type chair.
Assembly is easy, thought it was going to be difficult to line up the hinged part betweeen seat and back but someone on here gave a good tip about turning it over which i did and had the top of the head rest against some drawers to fix it in place then it was easy to line up the fixing, couldn’t have taken me more than 10 or 15 mins once i’d read the instructions for the chair.
The recliner part is slightly stiffer than last chair but it does stay in place and chair has no height adjustment but its perfect height for home office desk i have which has a slide out keyboard, if it didn’t have that then it might be slightly to low for the actual desktop part.
This time i have covered the chair with a blanket and hopefully the faux leather will last longer, in fact if i had thought of it i might just have kept my old one which apart from the cracking and flaking was still comfy and in good working order after years of daily use and just put a cover over it.
For me this is a great chair and worth the money, i don’t think its quite as comfy as my old one and doesn’t have wheels to move it easily but definetly glad i purchased it and would recommend, just check height is what you want as its fixed if you’re using it at a desk.
When my husband was putting one of these chairs together he cut his hand on a sharp pointed piece of metal
However, after six years (almost to the day) a chunk of faux leather has fallen off one of the arms and the base of the seat has begun to crack, so its days are numbered. However, for the amount of time it’s been with me and usage it has had, it is well worth what I paid for it way back in 2013 (which by my calculations work out at just over the equivalent of 20 per year) and I’m considering buying an identical replacement.
bought 20 october 2017
written 28 april 2019
Good: Comfy, good customer support (sent me bolts when i stripped mine by constantly leaning back, probably because im heavy), no issues with the leather
Bad: bolts would loosen often for over 4 months when i got it ( haven’t tightened the bolts for months now though), does wobble slightly (not a big issue if sitting still), creaky (im heavy though),
Would recomend
Just thought id add my tuppence worth as was looking thru my orders and checked out this buy.
Been a great buy, had it for almost 4 years and its still in great nick, admittedly I don’t sit on it all day just use mostly in evenings for few hours butit still works and looks like new, had no breaks or tears and that’s with a wee shitz zhu who uses it as her snooze pad when im out, i’ll be buying another.
spot on very good value as new would recomend 2 anyone
appart from the setting it up….i love the chair and the stool…the chair needs the stool,comfort and the recline
Chair was delivered when stated. Instructions were slightly incorrect but we worked it out.
Very easy to assemble alone. Quality and feel is satisfsctory. Overall I’d consider this very good value for money.
Nice chair. Bit awkward to fit together (for us anyway), but it looks great and is super comfy.
Bought for hubby who has has trouble sleeping, sits in bedroom, he uses I during the night in bedroom to watch tv, very comfy
Quite easy to put together. Took me about half an hour. Looks great and is comfy.
Not the best quality, but I knew that b the price. Very comfortable though
Comfortable, attractive and reasonably priced. The quality of materials is also good.
Excellent quality. Easy to put together and very comfortable. Very good value for money too. Arrived promptly and in good order.
Decent chair and foot rest, bought this for my BF for his games room/man cave, he seems to like it! Quality seems good.
What a bargain, looks far more expensive than it was. Very pleased with my purchase
Extremely comfortable chair, which I have fell asleep in quite a few times. Great for gaming and watching movies.
Excellent quality and very easy to put together even for 1 person.Very comfortable and not too big either which is great as I’m in rented accomodation.
This is a fantastic chair. So amazingly comfortable, probably the best thing I will buy this year. It is highly recommended.
It is slightly fiddly to put together but once it has been done its all worth it.
great as it is a present for my 80 yr old fathe
eally good price and arrived in good time. easy to put together and made of a solid structure. Great for watching the TV
Came so quick and love it and yes it did need two to put togethe
Soooo comfy, my boy won’t let me on his chair. Very good quality.
For the price it is of bery good quality. Product arrived within 2 days of order on eve of 2016. Though everything is fine, for diy it was bit of a mission as some parts on chair were not alligned and had to fix that myself, which took some extra time. On the side arms bit of metal still shows(behind elbow). The instructions are bit cryptic and not necessarily in right order of assembling the chair, I did struggle a bit with the footrest. Overall Iam happy with a purchase, would recommend it to anyone who does not want to spend too much money.
Good value, well made components, tools provided, also would be better to have two people to construct, but I managed on my own.
Gorgeous…… Great quality, stylish and sturdy plus excellent service, arrived within 2 days of ordering on the free saver delivery…..wonderful 🙂
The chair is very sturdy and comfortable and would recommend it to anyone. It doesn’t come with instructions so could cause some people some difficulty!! I’m an engineer so found it easy!! Delivery was poor as the carrier did not leave any change of delivery day option so ended up having to pick it up (one hour’s drive away)
Bought 2 of theses – very comfortable and good quality – would definitely recommend
Ideal for what I want, comfortable and managed to assemble on my own no problem though i can see why it may take two people. Gets five star based on value for money at this point.
Took 30mins to assemble by myself – very easy, only 1 tricky part and that’s the hinge bolts – just turn the chair upside down making a A shape and push down to join up the 2 main parts – whack the bolts in – too easy. The PU is not going to last very long with everyday use so it’s best to get a cover for the chair for daily use – else it will crack and flake since it’s not leather. The actual chair is really comfy in all positions – esp with using the footstool and feels stable. A tad on the expensive side – should really be around 100.
Bought this chair after sitting in the same one in our honeymoon cottage and it arrived the day we got back. Easy to put together and looks beautiful. Unreasonably comfortable!! Our cats love it too unfortunately, one has to prize them off it to sit down!
Brilliant chair for the money, if you like to sit down a lot then this chair is for you because unlike other chairs which I have tried, even more expensive ones, this one is sooooo comfy, there are some poor reviews out there but because I haven’t had it long I can’t really comment on cracking material and dodgy legs but for me it’s a quality chair and I will buy another one as soon as I ca
Best chair that i have bought,the wife has one and also i have one.brilliant.
thank you.
lovely cosy chair. very quick delivery. pity I can only sit on one as I would definitely buy another.
Delivered promptly. Good value for money. Well packaged. Fairly straightforward to assemble and very comfy. Very pleased with product.
Really easy to assemble
Steardy .. Lovely looking … And extremely comfortable
What more could you ask for 🙂
his chair is very comfy on the low side so great for a gaming chair also…would recommend.
Good quality it is what it says it is easy assembly though this was not mentioned as being needed.
30 mins to put it together fantastic quality for the price, very quick delivery
my dad was very pleased with this product for father’s day. the quality and design is perfect and sturdy. easy to set up
I have been using it for a few months now and I am happy with it. Right, it’s not perfect and not very comfortable either. But if you will only spend a a couple of hours a day on it, then you will be fine.
If you want to read for a long time or watch TV for hours, it may not be the best option.
I am giving 4 starts because I wanted something cheap that could give me “some” comfort. And it does the job. If you are more exigent, then you may want to look elsewhere.
It’s unlikely you will be able to use it as a computer/office chair.. it’s not for that.
easy to build and comfy to sit on ,who can ask for more.
Arrived when stated, really easy to assemble which is a good thing. But I thought it needed a bit more back support otherwise very nice.
Comfortable seat and good value for the price. Pleased with purchase.
I have had the chair for 8 months now and have had no problems . I got it for118.99 , “bargain “. Was delivered promptly . Putting together was quick enough , make sure when putting chair legs onto the main spar you don’t tighten them up to much , because have to adjust them. Then lift seat onto the main spar. All in all pleased with purchase , would recommend . ” good luck” .
Excellent product, suprised it all fitted in the box. I thick the Parts ‘D’ & ‘M’ sizes are the other way round
Six months later the faux leather on the laft hand arm rest is cracking
