A classic wingback armchair currently reduced in the Dunelm clearance sale is drawing praise from shoppers who describe it as 'very comfortable'. The Oswald Grande Folkstone Stripe Wingback Armchair is now available for £74.75, down from its original price of £299, saving buyers £224.25 or 75 percent off.
Classic Design with Modern Comfort
The armchair features a traditional wingback design with striped upholstery, scrolled arms, and oak-finished wooden legs. It is crafted with foam and fibre-filled cushions, pocket-sprung seating, and a high back for additional support. Brass castors on the two front legs allow for easier positioning around the room. Dunelm notes that the generously proportioned armchair is upholstered in a smooth striped fabric with piped edge detailing.
The Oswald armchair is available in various colours, fabrics, and sizes across the wider collection. Assembly is minimal, requiring only the attachment of the feet, which are stored underneath the chair in a zipped pocket.
Customer Reviews
The armchair has earned a 4.9 out of 5-star rating from 23 reviews. One reviewer wrote: 'I have had this attractive chair a few weeks now and although a bit hard at first it is now getting more comfortable. The material is of good quality and I would describe the style as traditional. I purchased it in the sale - what a bargain.' Another customer commented: 'Absolutely delighted with my new chair, every one who has sat in says it’s very comfortable, only draw back is no foot stool.'
However, one less positive review said: 'Okay for occasional use, it was easy to assemble but isn’t the most comfortable, the back and arms of the chair could do with being taller/higher.' Another satisfied buyer wrote: 'Love the chair it looks great. It’s lovely and firm but still comfortable great for my back. It was so easy to put together.'
