Love it! It makes the

Love it! It makes the perfect reading chair. It is so soft and comfortable and looks amazing. I have gotten many compliments about it. My only issue is the wood legs were a bit darker in color than I expected and I wish I had gone for the lighter wood.

I love this furniture!

I bought this chair to add to the same room with a Sabai chaise loveseat and ottoman I had purchased a few weeks earlier. It matches perfectly. This ends a long, long search to find non-toxic furniture. It's comfortable, the material is attractive and so sturdy our cat hasn't been able to destroy it (although he's tried). I only wish Sabai had bee...Read More

n around when our kids were younger and we had big pets. I love that parts can be replaced and/or added to so there's no typical worries about damaging or staining a piece . I like everything the company stands for and the self-assembly is genius. It was easy and perfect for us. We live in a high rise with restrictive scheduling rules for furniture delivery so the boxes were easy to receive on off-hours. Sabai is definitely our furniture choice going forward. I hope they expand the product lines! Read Less

Loving Our New Chair

We are so happy with our new chair. It looks fantastic in the corner of our living room. It was a cinch for my handy husband to put together. The fabric is lovely and is easily cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.

When we first received it, our two cats did a little claw sharpening on the chair before we sprayed it with Feliway spray to stop t...Read More

After this great experience, I will be considering other Sabai pieces to furnish our spare room. Read Less
