A sculptural mid-century lounge chair with a curved laminated plywood shell in a rosewood or walnut finish and black padded upholstery, 75cm high by 92cm wide by 83cm deep with a low 38cm seat. What the low seat means, who it suits, and how it differs from the Milo and Kingsley.
A wingback-style occasional chair in a soft faux fur that buyers compare to teddy and boucle, on wooden legs, with the stated sizes: 81cm tall, a 61 by 54cm seat at 43cm, a 16cm cushion and a 300 pound rating. White or yellow, and what ten buyers said.
A button-tufted PU leather desk chair with chrome arms, a gentle rock, a 51cm to 60cm seat height and a 125kg load rating. Who it fits, the numbers the product page states, and why a night-shift worker's wife bought one.
An upholstered Nordic dining chair with a cushioned seat and back on wooden legs, rated to 113kg, in moss green, beige or camel. Who it fits, why buyers with small tables choose it, and what eight reviewers said.
A rounded chenille lounge chair with a thick double-layered cushion and a curved backrest on a black metal cross base that swivels 360 degrees, in yellow, blue or beige. Who it suits, why it fights cats for a seat, and what nine buyers said about unpacking it alone.
A five-light floor lamp with globe shades trimmed in faceted acrylic crystals on a slender tree-shaped frame, 156cm high by 34cm wide by 25cm deep, 6kg, on a weighted round base, taking G9 bulbs to 25W each. Which finish for which room, and what the crystals do when the lights are on.
An armless dining chair in tan brown PU leather with a 10cm high-density foam seat, a curved backrest and black metal legs on adjustable non-slip pads. Who it suits, why the cushion depth matters, and what to check before ordering for a restaurant.
A 140cm console with a rustic brown wood-effect top on two open geometric black metal supports made of repeated vertical lines, 30cm deep and 83cm high. Why the open base suits a hallway, where it works, and how it sits between the Hoxton and the Cotswold.
A compact rounded tub chair in velvet on a solid wood frame with reinforced legs, rated to 300 pounds, in black or ember orange. Who it suits, why a small tub chair earns a bedroom corner, and what velvet needs.
