Fully Assembled Swivel Barrel Chair, Cream Linen-Look Fabric on Solid Walnut-Finish Base

This is a 360-degree swivel barrel chair that arrives fully assembled, measuring 31.1 inches deep by 31.1 inches wide by 28.3 inches high. It is the piece to reach for when a living room needs a seat that can turn toward conversation, a window or a television without being dragged across the floor, and when you would rather not spend an evening with an allen key.

What separates this from the wave of look-alike barrel chairs is the frame. It is solid hardwood carrying FSC certification, not plywood or particleboard, and it is engineered to hold up to 350 pounds on a footprint wide enough to resist tipping. The swivel mechanism is built into the base rather than bolted on underneath, which is the usual source of the creak that shows up on cheaper swivel chairs after a few months. The seat uses high-density foam that keeps its shape rather than the soft fill that collapses into a dish.

The upholstery is a warm cream, close to oat, in a 100% polyester fabric with a fine linen-like texture that resists wrinkling and pilling. It sits on a solid wood base in a walnut finish. Seat height is 17.3 inches and seat depth is 22.1 inches, and the curved backrest stops at roughly shoulder-blade height so the chair reads low and open rather than enclosing.
