Sable Upholstered Fabric Armchair vs Waverly Boucle Upholstered Armchair

The Sable is the better lounge chair. Its seat is much deeper and wider, and the low 17.5-inch seat height lets you settle in for reading or TV. The Waverly is the better accent piece: a sculptural wavy silhouette, nubby boucle, and it arrives fully assembled. Build is a real trade-off. The Waverly weighs roughly twice as much and feels more substantial, but its seat is compact and its cushions are the only ones described as removable. The Sable's 0.5-inch cushion is thin, so owners who want to sink in should look elsewhere.

• Choose the Sable if you want a deep, low lounge seat for reading or TV and don't mind assembling it.
• Choose the Waverly if you want a statement boucle chair that arrives fully assembled and you prefer a more upright, compact seat.
