Sloan Sled-Frame Lounge Chair: One-Piece Chenille Cushion on a Metal Frame, Built in 15 Minutes
By Furniture1002 min read
The Sloan is the chair in our lounge range that reviewers keep timing. Fifteen minutes, twice, from box to sitting in it. A single wraparound chenille cushion on a streamlined black metal sled frame, in three colours, and heavy enough that nobody describes it as flimsy.
What it is
A lounge chair built from two things: a one-piece cushion and a metal sled frame. The cushion is seat and backrest in one moulded shape, filled with high-density resilient foam that the product page states resists flattening over time, and covered in chenille. The frame is streamlined metal, described as having exceptional load-bearing capacity, on a sled base rather than four legs.
Who it suits
A bedroom corner, a living room, or anywhere that wants a modern chair with a clean silhouette. The sled frame keeps it visually light; the one-piece cushion makes it more comfortable than it looks, because the whole of your back is supported by one continuous shape.
Sue's review is typical: "Lovely chair, very comfortable, only takes about 15 mins to put together. Got it in my bedroom, would definitely recommend, it's very sturdy and looks amazing. Colour black, good value for money."
The three colours
- Beige is the lightest and suits a pale room.
- Black is the sharpest, and the one buyers put in bedrooms.
- Vintage brown is the warmest and reads as leather from across a room.
What buyers say
Tracey's review comes with the assembly tip everyone should read: "Well packaged, very heavy and stunning. When you put it together make sure you thread the seat through the pole at the end before you tighten the top screws."
"It took 15 min to make up. The chair is a great design and very comfortable to sit on and the price unbelievable, a bargain."
Living with it
Vacuum the chenille with a soft brush and blot spills. The metal frame wants a wipe.

Frequently asked questions
What is a one-piece cushion?
The seat and backrest are a single moulded cushion rather than two separate pads, so it wraps round you as one shape. The product page states it is high-density resilient foam that resists flattening.
How long does it take to assemble?
Two separate buyers timed it at fifteen minutes. One tip from a reviewer: thread the seat through the pole at the back before tightening the top screws, and it goes together cleanly.
Is it heavy?
One buyer describes it as very heavy and stunning, and others call it very sturdy. The weight is in the metal frame, which is what stops a sled-based chair sliding about.
Is it comfortable?
Every review that mentions comfort is positive, and the one-piece shape is why: it supports the whole back rather than the seat and shoulders separately.
Which colour?
Beige is the lightest and the most reviewed. Black is the sharpest and the one a buyer chose for a bedroom. Vintage brown is the warmest and reads as leather from a distance.
