Harlow Accent Armchair: Linen on a Metal and Wood Frame, 380lb Rated, No Screwdriver Needed
By Furniture1002 min read
The Harlow is the accent armchair in our range with the biggest stated load rating and the easiest build. Linen over high-resilience foam on a metal and wood frame with black wooden legs, rated to 380 pounds, and put together by one first-time assembler in forty minutes without a screwdriver. Nine reviews, and every one that mentions assembly says easy.
What it is
A modern accent armchair. The cover is a soft, durable linen; the cushions are high-resilience foam; the frame is sturdy metal and wood, on black-finished solid wood legs. The product page states a 380 pound weight limit, roughly 172kg, and describes the chair as made to stand the test of time.
Who it suits
A living room that needs a second seat with some presence, or a bedroom that needs a reading chair. The high load rating makes it a chair for everyone in the household, and the linen suits a natural, Scandinavian or mid-century scheme.
It is also the chair for anyone who dreads flat-pack. Linda: "This chair is the easiest chair to put together, no screwdriver needed, instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the result is a lovely comfortable chair and the legs are solid wood. I'm no DIYer."
The four colours
- Taupe is the warm neutral and the version in our photograph.
- Taupe grey is cooler, for a grey and white scheme.
- Brown is the deepest and hides the most.
- Green sits well with plants and cream walls.
Frame, legs and cushions are the same on all four.
What buyers say
Nettie: "Easy to assemble. I love this and even though it recommends 2 people for assembly I did it on my own in 40 mins never having done it before. Solid, good price, very comfy!"
Living with it

Frequently asked questions
How much weight does the Harlow take?
The product page states a 380 pound weight limit, roughly 172kg, which is the highest in our lounge range. The frame is metal and wood.
Do I need tools to build it?
One buyer says no screwdriver was needed and the instructions were clear. Another, who had never assembled furniture before, did it alone in forty minutes despite the instructions recommending two people.
Are the legs real wood?
Yes, black-finished solid wood, which a reviewer confirms. They are what give the chair its mid-century stance.
Is linen a practical cover?
It is breathable and durable, and it has a natural texture that hides small marks. Vacuum with a soft brush and blot spills. It creases slightly with use, which is part of the look.
Which colour?
Taupe is the warm neutral and the most versatile. Taupe grey is the cooler version for a grey scheme. Brown is the deepest. Green suits plants, cream walls and wood.
