Do you weigh more than 300 pounds?
If so, you know what a challenge it can be to find good quality, interesting furniture that’s big and robust enough to support you properly. Three hundred pounds seems to be about the limit for most big-name brands. They’ll occasionally offer something for heavier people, but much of what they put out isn’t attractive.
The good news is that since the big names have mostly stayed away from the big and tall furniture market (there are a few exceptions), it has opened the door for a constellation of smaller brands to take up the slack, and they have done so!
Many of the big and tall furniture you’ll find is offered by brands you may never have heard of, but discounting them completely would be a mistake. Luckyermore is a case in point. They don’t have a huge footprint, but their fun, quirky dining chair is outstanding and not to be missed, especially if you’re a fan of the retro look.
Even if you’re not, by the time you reach the end of this review, we feel certain that you’ll be impressed by everything the Luckyermore Leather dining chair offers. You can check out their other products in our Luckyermore dining chair reviews.
If you’re intrigued, read on, and we’ll tell you about it.
Key Features of Luckyermore Leather Side Chair
The first thing that’s likely to come to mind when you see the Luckyermore leather dining chair for the first time is that it looks like it came right off the set of Happy Days or The Brady Bunch. It has that retro vibe, and if you’re fond of that aesthetic, it will make you fall in love with this dining chair.
Chair Specifications
While the aesthetic might grab your attention, its design particulars will reel you in. Before we get into the details on that front, let’s start by quickly surveying the basic stats that define the model. Here they are:
In the world of office chairs, a chair designed for the big and tall market typically has a seat height adjustment range that starts at 18” and goes to 22”. These chairs’ 18” seat height makes them a good fit for taller folk, and their impressive 400-pound weight limit reinforces this point.
The seat dimensions are an excellent fit for bigger folk, too. So this chair is a good choice for most big and tall markets.
Variants
In addition to being well-sized, it comes in your choice of orange or beige upholstery (vinyl), and if you prefer bar-height seating, you can order a variant of this chair with a 30” seat height.
We feel it was a missed opportunity that the chair wasn’t also offered in avocado green, which would have been in keeping with the retro look, but we can certainly forgive the company for the oversight.
Adjustability and Comfort
Although it’s technically true that nothing about the Luckyermore leather side chair is adjustable, you can make one “adjustment” on the front end regarding the seat height at the point of sale. It’s a small thing, but we love the option to get this chair in bar height and table height. Kudos to Luckyermore for that.
Comfort-wise, this chair is on the next level, especially for a dining chair. No, seriously. The block foam padding is five inches thick, thicker than on some office chairs. While you wouldn’t want to spend long periods sitting in most dining chairs, you could make an exception, in this case, in a pinch.
Even better, the seat is also ergonomically designed and provides decent back support while sitting in it. We’ve seen better implementations, but honestly, you don’t find many ergonomic dining chairs, which is another thing that sets this model apart.
Upholstery
Normally, at this point in the review, we’d gripe about the vinyl upholstery, but in this case, it’s a good fit for two reasons. One, it’s totally in keeping with the retro aesthetic. If it had been anything but vinyl, we’d have been disappointed.
Two, most people don’t spend endless hours sitting in dining chairs. The problem with spending long periods on vinyl is that it isn’t breathable, and the longer you sit on it, the hotter you’ll get. Vinyl isn’t a durable upholstery material that will show its age after a year of moderate to heavy use.
Since dining chairs are occasional seating, vinyl upholstery will last longer than it would otherwise. Combine that with its inexpensiveness, which helps keep the cost of the chair down, and it’s a perfect fit for the Luckyermore leather kitchen dining chair.
No Assembly Required
While most of the furniture sold online today arrives at your door in a box and in pieces, Luckyermore bucks that trend. If you order one (or more) of these, they’ll arrive fully assembled and ready to use. Just take them out of the box, put them where you want them to go, and have a seat.
Pros and Cons of LUCKYERMORE Leather Kitchen Dining Chair
We like everything about this quirky little chair. It’s well-proportioned for bigger, taller people, supports a generous amount of user weight, and looks amazing. Of course, the aesthetic won’t be for everyone, and if you’re not a fan of the retro look, you’ll be underwhelmed, making this chair largely self-selecting.
Luckyermore Leather Dining Chair Review Conclusion
We feel lucky to have found the Luckyermore Leather Dining Chair. It’s a great piece of furniture that’s fun to own, look at, and sit in. It evokes a sense of nostalgia in us that you get from most furniture, including most “vintage” furniture. We’d love to see more from the company along these lines, and if you’re a fan of the styling, you’ll love it. Unfortunately, not everyone will be a fan, and because of that, we can only give this chair a provisional recommendation, but if you buy one, you won’t be disappointed.
