The Petit Ribbed Chenille Occasional Armchair boasts an impressive 4.7 out of 5 star rating on the Dunelm website. One satisfied customer remarked: “The chair met my requirements perfectly,” reports the Manchester Evening News.

They continued: “As I am short it supports my back and is comfortable. It fits into a small space in the room without looking cluttered. It is very good value for its price and looks expensive.”

Another shared: “Perfect compact size for my snug. Great quality, good value for money and easy ordering and delivery.”

A third customer gushed: “This chair is delightful! I read the reviews, so knew it was ‘petit’, as its description says. It was exactly what I was expecting and hoping for. ‘d describe it as an occasional chair as it’s a little hard (and small) for sitting on for a long length of time. The colour is a lovely olive green, just as the pictures present. Really happy with it. Prompt delivery, just had to put the legs on which was easy.”

Some purchasers offered minor observations, including one who noted in a more detailed review: “Too firm to be comfortable.” Whilst another mentioned in their comments: “Lovely chair, smaller than anticipated but good quality, firm and well made.”
