Cloey 46cm H Upholstered Upholstered Back Armchair

Important note: despite the diagram in the Weights & Dimensions section of this chair's product page describing its upholstery as being just "suede", it's *NOT* actual suede leather, but rather an imitation-suede fabric. Fabric like this is the specific type of upholstery that I was seeking out while shopping for office chairs, and is one of the main things that led me to this specific chair model. I was already familiar with a similar type of upholstery from a small sofa which I bought 17 years ago, and I've liked it ever since then. Unlike one other model of chair that I've bought during this round of shopping, this one's upholstery is not described specifically as "microfiber" (i.e. basically the same kind of fabric that's sometimes known by brand names such as "Ultrasuede" or "Alcantara"), and it has a somewhat rougher texture compared to that other chair's upholstery. Overall, I like that other one's upholstery somewhat better, but both of them are pretty good. The other main feature of this chair that led me to buy it was its non-wheeled base; I was looking specifically for non-wheeled office chairs because, when used on a hard/non-carpeted floor, wheeled chairs will roll *FAR* too easily, and -- unfortunately -- it's not particularly easy to find non-wheeled office chairs, *especially* once you start adding additional constraints such as (as mentioned above) a particular type of upholstery. (Despite this one's item-description calling it an armchair rather than an office chair, it still seems like it might be usable as an office chair.) Its base is simply four individual upright legs (without any wheels, and without any kind of swivel-mechanism) in the form of two separate metal pieces (one of which is both of the front legs, the other one of which is both of the back legs) that you must bolt onto the underside of its seat. Getting the two separate pieces to align with each other properly when bolting them into place was slightly difficult, but it was still fairly easy overall to assemble this chair... *UNLIKE* one other chair that I've bought during this round of shopping. That difficult-to-assemble other chair had what's called a "sled base", i.e. a single curved tube underneath its seat that serves both as the chair's base (the part that's in contact with the floor) and also as its "legs" (the vertical part that connects the base to the seat). Also, you should be aware that a chair with that type of "sled base" design (like that aforementioned other chair, *NOT* this one being reviewed here) effectively has only two "legs", both of which are *at the front-end* of its seat... which, in turn, tends to cause that tube to flex when you sit down in the chair and/or when you lean back in it, ultimately making a "sled base" chair of that kind feel somewhat similar to a rocking chair. If you prefer the chair to feel solid -- as opposed to springy -- while sitting in it, then it's likely that you'd prefer a chair with four separate legs like this one has over a "sled base" one like that. (Though I suppose that some other chairs with that type of "sled base" might be less springy, due to having a metal tube that's wider in diameter and/or has thicker walls.) However, I am somewhat concerned about how long this chair will last; as some other reviewers have mentioned, the chair's back tends to flex slightly when you lean back in it, and if the material connecting the back to the seat isn't strong enough, it might eventually wear out & break as a result of long-term use and/or of too much force having been applied to it. I had another office chair with an upright piece of hard plastic inside the seat-back (between the back-cushion & the rear cover) connecting it to the part directly underneath the seat-cushion (i.e. the part that was on top of that chair's swivel-mechanism), and as time went on, that plastic piece gradually developed cracks and -- after over 10 years of regular use -- eventually snapped completely off. By comparison, the aforementioned other chair that I bought recently which also has microfiber/imitation-suede upholstery seems to *not* flex at all when you lean back in it, and generally feels sturdier than this chair that I'm reviewing here. On the other hand, that other microfiber-upholstered chair might not have quite as good lower-back support as this one does... though on the *OTHER other hand*, that other chair's seat-back is taller than this one's seat-back, so that other one might end up being more comfortable than this one overall. Also, be aware that each one of the chair's legs has a hard plastic "foot" on it, and those "feet" even have some somewhat sharp edges/ridges on their undersides. If you're going to set this chair on a (non-carpeted) floor surface of some kind that's vulnerable to being scratched/gouged/damaged -- such as one made of wood, plastic, vinyl, etc. -- then you probably ought to put soft felt pads on the chair's feet in order to prevent them from damaging the floor. (Also note, another type of non-wheeled chair design that's non-springy/non-flexible like this one is: one type of design that's different from the aforementioned sled-base design, yet is *ALSO* described as having a "sled base". This alternate type of sled-base design has two separate curved -- or "looped", rather -- tubes, each of which serves three purposes: it's one arm of the chair, and the left or right half of the chair's base, **AND** the left or right two of the chair's legs. With this design, the chair effectively has four legs in total, similar to this four-legged chair that I'm reviewing here... and *UNLIKE* the two-legged variety of sled-base chairs mentioned above. The other model of chair with microfiber upholstery that I mentioned above uses this four-legged variety of sled-base design.)

We are a little unsure about this one. Installation was easy, just connect the legs then connect them to the bottom of the seat. The fabric on the back of the seat is a little thin and wrinkles, the seat is a little stiff. Not sure if it will last. We ordered one just to test it out before deciding if we want to order 5 more for our dining room.

Love the color, sturdy chair, very satisfied!

Love the blue color and style but chairs were a little smaller than expected.

Super confortable chair. I have tried many before finally finding this one being the best for a long dinner or even home office. The seat is not too wide, but deep to feel comfortable. The back height is good for support. Color is light grey/beige (greige). Not too heavy as some other chair can be. And do not feel flimsy at all. I will order 3 more!
