Carrington Court or Arhaus?

11 years ago

I'm looking at parsons type chairs online and have narrowed it down to two. I'm keeping my existing table.
Carrington Court ($309) Not the color shown, but rather Chinese red or Sherwin Brown.carrington court camel back

or Arhaus ($199) color as shown
arhaus capri side chair
It's hard buying chairs online without being able to sit in them. Can anyone comment on the quality or the sit or feel of these chairs? Hubby is 6'3" so need something sturdy.
I've read really good comments on this site about Carrington Cour and some concerns about Arhaus customer service - not sure if it's worth the extra $110 per chair tho.

Appreciate the info and confirmed my thoughts that Carrington Court is a quality product. Now to decide on color.
Joaniepoanie I love that fabric - classic but fun! it would work great with my colors.
Old bat - I like your style! Wish I had your white trim.

We recently ordered a CC chair. We sent them fabric. This is a chair we will use occasionally with a desk. They did a nice job, it's comfortable enough for our purposes and as a spare chair.

I'm not sure you're comparing apples to apples for your extra $100. Carrington indicates their chair is leather; Arhaus is Eco-leather fabric which, a google search informed me, is made up of 20% leather.

I can't speak to Arhaus quality or value, but I own 2 Carrington Parsons chairs and they are one of the best furniture values I've ever made. Very comfortable, if a bit narrow.

juddgirl - I've gone back and forth on the table height too! We have an antique oak clawfoot table with a big leaf in it so when hubby has his game group over they have lots of room to spread out. But the table is also in front of the picture windows which go almost to the ground so I would love to have a lower profile in there, just a pair of chairs with a low table. DH says he's okay either way but I fear he might not feel the same way once the table was gone. But comfort is a big deal too because when they're gaming, they're here for 8-10 hours. I'm thinking I might just order two chairs to see if I like them and then I can always order two more. We really only "need" two but I like the look of four.

Yay! I bought my beloved kitchen stools there and had a great experience. (I provided my own fabric and specified a stain, as well). Please post a picture or two of your new chair! These stools are amazingly comfortable and the microfiber fabric we selected makes clean-up a breeze. Plus, they are 26" high, which I prefer. In the leather they provided: Our stools:

What is your definition of "decent price"? Also faux leather or bi-cast leather is different than real leather. Overstock has quite a few bicast or leatherette chairs. They have good shipping and the reviews are helpful. These would be your discount price chairs since they're often in sets of two. http://www.overstock.com/parson-leather-chair,/k,/results.html?sort=Avg.%20Customer%20Review&searchtype=Header My daughter purchased from Arhaus before, I think she got the Capris side chair. The Aiden chair is another to look at. Arhaus doesn't have anything specifically called Parsons chair - just side chair. http://www.arhaus.com/furniture/dining-room-furniture/dining-room-chairs/ Another source that I've heard highly mentioned on multiple decorating sites is Carrington Court Direct. But these will be all leather and likely last a much longer time. http://www.carringtoncourtdirect.com/index.cfm

We have a rainy day here so I've been playing....beginning to think maybe less IS more: I moved the other two prints and put them on the walls beside the FP. I am warming up to this now; maybe I was used to having four prints, and now that they are still in the room, it maintains the continuity I was used to. And......back to the chairs; a pair of these PB chairs has been hiding in the recesses of our CL: Pottery Barn Calais chair in leather They are almost brand new so not exactly a fire sale price; they are asking $500 for the pair. I think that's a little high, but assuming the price was right, do you think they would finish things off well? Or should I leave well enough alone? I'd purchase them only if they are more comfortable than what I have, and I won't know that until I see them. I can't test the link until I post, but in case it doesn't show the right one, the CL chairs are brown leather with espresso stain legs. I still really like the sconces but wonder if this is just as nice in some ways. I am now looking at my FP and wondering if the sconces would look good on either side of my mirror! But, no worries, that will have to wait for another day, lol!

I would happily do an infomercial on my CC counter height barstools! They are incredibly comfortable. We too sent our own fabric. We also specified custom leg color. These are the perfect height for a 36" high island.

I just sold 4 CC chairs on local FB trading page - over 30 people were interested. They are extremely well made and comfortable.

hilltop...I got the fabric at a large, local discount fabric warehouse so have no information on it. ...i love polka dots.

Bat2....thanks to nosoccer I just realized we have the same colors....my kitchen is gold and my LR and DR are gray.

Nosoccer....if you're interested...my kitchen is BM Bridgewater Tan @75%....similar to Sandy Brown. My LR is London Fog, DR is on same chip but a bit darker-- Plymouth Rock.

nosoccermom - the yellow is long gone and I'm not sure what it was (could go check the paint can graveyard in the basement if you would like!), but we have the blue throughout the downstairs. It's BM Aura Vancouver Day.

hilltop, if you're still here, did you get the leather Carrington Court chairs? If so, how is the leather holding up? Are they comfortable? I'm considering getting leather CC dining chairs. Thanks!

has anyone ordered the wing chairs? I am into 80% comfort and 20% appearance. The comfort for me is based mostly on the feel of the fabric and combined soft-plus- cushie-frimness of the cushion. I am also 5 feet tall and hate when my feet do not reach the floor. Do you recommend their wing chairs based on this criteria?

When this post was begun, I had the wing chairs. They were very comfortable, but a bit small for the additional grandsons, nephews and stepsons! They were sold on Craigslist and we now have more heavy duty...WIDER chairs :^) I loved the wingchairs and they held up well for the 15 years prior to being sold!

a no on Arhaus....i have two modified Parsons chairs from Arhaus .. mine have wings and tested on the attached back. i really like the designers there there but the comfort of the seating is mediocre and there's already a little sagging of the leather.
