Review on ACME Balin Faux Leather Accent Chair in White by Matthew Goyette

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I'm sorry but at least it wasn't a big investment

I bought one of these a month or two ago and absolutely love it! However, I bought a second one and unfortunately the quality changes. The second chair has some noticeable creases in the upholstery and some of the upholstery near the armrests is not flat/bunched. This makes it cheaper and tasteless. I'm sad, but at least it wasn't a big investment. I will say that the second chair came with better legs! The first chair had cheap plastic legs while the second chair had heavy wooden legs. Side by side they look the same, but the second chair is slightly different with the vinyl upholstery. Also, it doesn't seem that deep, which might indicate mastery of this part. For chemical intolerances, I would let this chair "run out of breath” in another ventilated room for a few days. The smell is very strong. They are not *difficult* to assemble, except that adjusting the backrest to the seat cushion can be tricky. After you line it up, it just snaps into place. As far as I can tell, it's irreversible. So I don't think I can send the second chair back. They are exactly the size I wanted. They are small but there is enough seating for a tall person. I can turn around The armrests aren't as comfortable as my other chairs, but it doesn't hurt either. Love the padding, it really feels like leather and the first one had nice construction.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled
