I’m on the hunt for a new armchair with a footstool. I fully expect to spend weeks searching and then just buy the omnipresent Ikea Poang, but need to try first.
Basically what I’m looking for is somewhere between this:
I like the second one more, but the downside for me is the wooden arms and open sides. So I guess my ideal one is the top one on the base of the second one, and that doesn’t cost more than about £300.
I expect this leaves me with hoping to get lucky on eBay, but would appreciate any other suggestions.
I know you said the arms aren't ideal, but the Ikea Ekenäset's basically the same as that Dunelm chair. There's now a matching footstool available; the combo would give you change from £300.
Thanks for that. Definitely one to consider. As with the Ercol chair I mention, the wooden arms can be uncomfortable if sitting at a different angle or slouching. I should go and try it, though. On the plus side, the arms are not going to wear through or stain.
