Ashton High Back Armchair: Faux Fur, 81cm Tall, 43cm Seat, 16cm Cushion, 300lb Rated
By Furniture1002 min read
The Ashton is the soft one: a high-backed, winged occasional chair in a faux fur that buyers describe as teddy bear, on wooden legs, with its measurements stated to the centimetre. It is the chair for a corner where you want to be wrapped up, and ten reviewers, plus at least one cat, have approved.
What it is
A modern wingback armchair with curved arms. The cover is a soft faux fur over sponge padding, on sturdy wooden legs. The stated figures:
| Total height | 81cm |
| Seat | 61cm D x 54cm W, 43cm high |
| Cushion | 16cm thick |
| Backrest | 55cm W x 32cm H |
| Packed weight | 20kg |
| Maximum load | 300lb (about 136kg) |
The 43cm seat height is a touch lower than a dining chair, which is right for a lounge chair you settle into.
Who it suits
A bedroom, a nursery, a reading nook, a living room corner that gets cold. The high back and the wings shelter you from the room, and the faux fur is warm to sit on in a way no other fabric in our range is.
Samantha: "Easy to assemble, material is lovely, like teddy bear boucle. It is a firm seat but I like that." J from Ruislip: "Very easy to put together, did it by myself, and very nice looking. Quite comfortable, the cat loves it, a nice addition. Good value for money."
White or yellow
White is the softer, brighter version and the one in our photograph. Yellow is a warm mustard, and it suits grey, navy and dark wood. Legs, shape and cushion are identical.
What buyers say
"Fantastic chair. Great quality."
Living with it
Brush the faux fur with a soft brush to lift the pile, in the direction it lies. Blot spills. Vacuum with the brush attachment rather than a bare nozzle. Keep it away from pets with claws if you want it to stay pristine, though one reviewer's cat has other ideas.

How much weight does it take?

What is faux fur like to sit on?
Soft and warm, and buyers reach for teddy bear and boucle to describe it. One notes it is a firm seat and likes it that way; the 16cm cushion is supportive rather than sinking.
Does it work as a reading chair?
The page pitches it as a corner lounge chair or reading nook, and the high, winged back is what makes it one: it shelters you from the room.
White or yellow?
White is the softer, brighter version and the one the cat in one review claimed. Yellow is a warm mustard that suits grey, navy and dark wood. Legs and shape are the same.
