Is this a real Chesterfield chair?

It follows the Chesterfield formula: deep button tufting, rolled arms and a low back. It is a modern take with silver trim and black wood legs rather than an antique reproduction.

Is leather a good choice for an armchair?

Leather is durable and easy to wipe clean, which suits households with kids or pets. It feels firmer and cooler than fabric and needs conditioning now and then to stay supple.

How firm is the seat?

Tufted Chesterfield chairs are built firm and upright, so expect support rather than a deep sink-in feel. Add a throw or cushion if you want softer seating.

Will it fit in a small room?

It is a bulky, 92 lb chair with rolled arms, so measure your floor space and doorway first. It works best in a living room, study or bedroom corner with room around it.

Does it rock or recline?

No. It is a fixed armchair with wood legs, so it stays in one position.

What do I need to assemble?

Expect to attach the legs on delivery. The rest of the frame arrives assembled, and the weight means you should have a second person help position it.
