The seat cushion is removable and reversible with a zip-off cover, making cleaning and maintenance{ easy.

All West Elm items are made to order, so this chair will take about three months to be delivered. If you don’t want to do the work of setting up the chair yourself, West Elm offers a “White Glove” delivery service that includes the construction of the chair where you want it in your home.

• Color: Cream

This seventies-inspired chair cuts no corners on comfort and modern style. The webbed construction of the cushions ensures comfort whenever you sit down. The boucle has a plush and soft texture, which is excellent for sitting and relaxing. 

The swivel is hidden, so you’d never know that the chair wasn’t just a standard armchair until you sit down. The hidden bottom means that the shape is very different from most swivel chairs’ circular design. If you’re not interested in the more modern-style circular chairs, this chair keeps all the functionality and convenience of a swivel chair while still looking like a classic armchair. 

This chair also lacks some customization options other brands may offer. Still, the neutral color ensures it can look lovely in any space. The short two to three-week shipping is a great upside to the loss of customizability as well!
