Dunelm Shoppers Rush to Buy Velvet Chair Reduced by £50

Dunelm shoppers are snapping up the Vivian Velvet Dining Chair, now priced at £49.50 after a reduction from £99. The chair, available in brilliant rose, has become a popular choice for those seeking stylish and comfortable seating at a bargain price.

Design and Features

The Dunelm website describes the chair as "the perfect piece for your home, with its modern colourway that will complement an array of home decors and brass effect on the legs." It adds: "With a stylish look and fashionable design, this seat is a comfy piece with an upholstered velvet seat."

The discount applies only to the brilliant rose colourway; shoppers wanting black or mink versions must still pay the full price.

Shopper Reviews

Customers have shared positive feedback, with one writing: "Lovely rose coloured chair which I'm using as an occasional chair not as a dining chair. Delivered promptly. Very easy to assemble. Sturdy and comfortable to sit on. Very pleased and would recommend."

Another added: "Stylish looking chair and good quality and value- especially at sale price. It's quite sturdy as long as you carefully follow the instructions when assembling. Once you get your head around the picture instructions, it's easy!"

Mixed Feedback and Alternatives

However, some shoppers were less impressed. One disappointed customer wrote: "The chair itself is lovely. However, I put it together, following instructions and putting each leg where it says to put them. Stood it up after I'd finished, and it is really wobbly with one leg not even close to the floor, so I thought I'd somehow done it wrong. Took it back apart and redid it, even tried jiggling some of the legs around but still had the same problem. One of the back legs seems to be at more of a slant than the other so it doesn't look right either. I'm really disappointed. For £99 you do expect better."

For those seeking alternatives, the Scallop Compact Padded Accent Armchair with Metal Legs is on offer at the Range, reduced from £89.99 to £79.99. The Fairmont Park Daisy Velvet Accent Chair is available on Wayfair at £156.99 for a set of two, and the HOMCOM Velvet Shell Accent Chair is on sale at Debenhams for £130.99, down from £342.90.
