Dunelm has reduced its Vivian Velvet Dining Chair from £99 to £49.50, and shoppers are praising the piece for its stylish look and comfortable upholstered velvet seat. The discount is available exclusively in the colour brilliant rose; those wanting the chair in black or mink still pay full price.
Shoppers praise the chair's style and comfort
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. With a stylish look and fashionable design, this seat is a comfy piece with an upholstered velvet seat."
Customers have left glowing reviews, 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!"
One shopper reports a wobbly leg
Not every review was positive. One dissatisfied shopper 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."
