Our take on the West Elm Dallas Swivel Chair, Ludlow Leather Sand

The Dallas is a compact upholstered swivel chair on a metal base, built for living rooms and reading corners where you want to turn toward the conversation or the window. The seat cushion is foam-filled and the back is loose polyester fiber, so it sits soft rather than firm. At about 32.5 inches wide and 36 inches tall it fits small rooms better than a full armchair, and the 275 lb weight limit is modest for the category. Rivals in this class often add a rocking or gliding mechanism; the Dallas swivels only.
