Armen Living Panda Dining Chair, Single, Black Faux Leather/Walnut

I ordered this one chair last week to try it out and insure we loved it bf buying a set for a new mid century style dining table we've ordered from an online furniture store. We've been looking for a set of chairs that look pretty, are comfortable, and have the mid century vibe. It came in today and arrived in a light foam cover, which protected the wood back of the already assembled seat, and the legs, which are metal and coated in metal paint that matches the back, so they coordinate w/the back, but are not tacky looking. They were boxed in a well sealed triangular box, which helped it not move around a lot in transit, I guess, since there is not a single blemish on the chair! In fact, I love this chair! It took me ten minutes to screw the separately boxed legs on and they are well tagged as either front or back legs. The holes are pre-drilled on the seat and match perfectly w/the legs. the tiny screw driver is included since you need one of those 6 sided drivers to assemble. Best of all, they are very, very comfortable! The seat is well padded and the faux leather is very soft. We've sat in it for about an hour and so far, it holds up to my 200# husband comfortably. So, I'm ordering three more today! As a side note, though, although these look sturdy and are very comfortable, the backs are NOT solid wood. The backs are plywood and stained a walnut brown, though it shows more reddish brown than dark brown. The staining is beautiful, though and it looks good quality. My table will be solid dark walnut, and since the trend is not matchy, matchy, I'm hoping they blend in w/o trying to match them to the table.. The price point is very affordable, much less than some of the same style chairs from the popular mid century modern furniture stores online and walk ins.; so these chairs may only hold up a few years, since they don't cost $500+/piece. But we only use our dining room a few times a year since we have a kitchen table we use daily. But I can always replace them a few years down the line if they don't last since the price is very reasonable. I'll submit photos when I get the others and my table.

I'm a 6' tall 210lb man. This chair is extremely sturdy and easy to assemble. It is a little wide which is PERFECT! I have slight wiggle room around me. The look is sleek and just as pictured. Love this chair!

We really liked the looks of this chair. In fact, we liked it so much we ordered 10 of them. A few were put together easily but most have a problem with the right front leg, see picture 2. It is as if the holes are not drilled in exactly the right place. As a result, the right front leg does not reach the floor and makes the chair wobbly. We had already planned to put little slider feet on them and the cup-shaped feet we bought allowed us to fix the problem on some by sliding a washer in the feet we added. On one chair the distance is too great to make up for it and one other chair came with scratches so we will be returning two and trying with two new ones.

Loom even better in person, and the wood look is surprisingly good.I bought through Amazon Warehouse and one set was missing screws, but Amazon sorted this immediately.Very impressed!

I am very disappointed these didn't work out, because I think they're very attractive looking. I had no problems with assembly, and they seem sturdy enough. However, they are simply not designed to be comfortable. The back is reclined enough that it's awkward to sit at the dining table and try to eat. If you sit upright, there's no back support. Also, because of the gap between the seat and the back, if you scoot back to try to get your back on the chair back, your butt kind of falls off the back of the seat, and you end up trying to sit with your butt hanging off the back of the chair. These chairs are so close to being really nice, but we ended up squirming around trying to find a comfortable way to sit. Returned.

I was worried about the legs being uneven from all the comments but mine were perfect! The chair is nice and sturdy. It’s comfortable. I'm using it as a desk chair and sitting on it for over an hour is okay. The color is nice, like someone else mentioned the legs are metal with a wood print. You can't tell unless you're close to it or holding it. Overall I am happy with my new desk chair.

I loved the look of the chair and it was comfortable to sit in, but as a 5'6" woman, when I sat down at the table, the table top was at my chest, which was very awkward for me. My table is 30" high, so standard. And, one of the legs of the chair was short. We even tried to switch the legs to see if that could fix the imbalance, but that didn't work either. If you look closely at the photo, you can see how one of the feet does not touch the floor. When you sit in the chair though, all the legs touch at that point, but you've got to wonder what kind of stress that puts on the other legs.... Beautiful chair - love the design - love the look - love the comfort - but needs improvements.
