Looking for a modern look-alike accent chair

4 years ago

Saw this tall-back modern accent chair on Crate & Barrell website. It's perfect to finish off our living room remodel project.


As it turns out, C&B doesn't actually sell it. It's just a prop for the image of their new curved sofa.


Has anyone seen this lounge chair or something very close?

    Houzz search on Vig furniture showed this, but not great review:

    @everdebz Thanks for the suggestions!


    Love Jonathan Adler designs, but velvet really isn't an option for this room.


    We're considering the the Loop Lounge. The characteristics we liked about the chair in the C&B photo are the lightness of its overall frame - not heavy or chunky - and particularly the fun, low wing-arms. The aesthetic of the Loop is probably the closest.


    That being said, I'm still hooked on finding the chair in the C&B photo. :(

    @Jenn Powers Those are nice looking alternatives. Thanks for sharing.


    I hope not to sound like a furniture snob, but... I happen to have a fear of West Elm quality and have had multiple bad experiences with Room & Board.


    Perhaps my hesitation with West Elm is unjustified - haven't actually purchased from them - but I've seen some shoddy construction on pieces in their stores.


    On the other hand, I've made many purchases from Room & Board over the years. All had gone well until the last couple of years when my past 3 purchases had to be returned because of quality issues. So I've written them off at this point.

    Here’s what they said about the chair (on their IG, responding to someone asking about it):

    @Jilly Oh Wow! You are a dear for finding that! Thanks so much. Funny that the Designers at the store could only assume it was just a prop.


    I'm willing to wait for it. And I know all about waiting... we actually ordered a C&B sofa 4 months ago and only have another 2 months left to wait for it to arrive!

    I’m very confused now … I scrolled around (I like C&B, so enjoyed looking), and a more recent post says they don’t carry it and don’t mention ever carrying it. Strange. I hope they do and you can get it! It’s a very popular chair, lots were asking on various posts. :)

    So…. seems I’m back to ground zero on finding this C&B chair. Now their IG post showing it only says they don’t know anything about it and don’t know if it will be sold by them.

    Several look-alike suggestions here are nice, but don’t quite hit the characteristics I’m liking in the C&B chair, which are the tall back, yet still having a lightness (not chunky) due to the wing arm and thinner structure.

    Thanks @LH CO/FL Definitely a possibility. How long have you had them? Are they holding up well?

  • 4 years ago

    As I said, mine are black, and I've had them for about 5 years. Bought both from their outlet store. As for wear and tear, I hate to say this but we very rarely sit in them. They look brand new, but it's just two of us and we rarely (if ever) entertain/have guests and we use the sofa that's in the same room 99.9% of the time. :)
