Customer reviews and considerations
The Arianna chair has received positive ratings from the two shoppers who have left reviews so far. One wrote: "I saw this chair on an Instagram story and fell in love with it. I couldn't find it on Dunelm's site, so thought it wasn't to be. Some time later, I visited my local store and casually asked a staff member about items that were no longer online. She pulled it up immediately and pointed out that the picture was very pale so the flowers weren't obvious. Ordered on the spot by Courtney, was delivered promptly by two lovely, helpful men, and I love it."
A second reviewer said: "Lovely chair, pretty fabric, very well made for the price. Very sturdy and supportive." Others have shared mixed feedback on Trustpilot about Dunelm as a brand, with one five-star review noting "Great product at a very reasonable price. Very good customer service." A more critical review mentioned disappointment that a chair cover had to be collected in store, though assembly was made easy by labelled parts. Potential buyers should note the chair's light colour, which could stain easily.
