Attractive and probably great as a chair that you do not sit in or recline on for extended periods of time...like watching a movie or taking a nap. My husband is 6'1" and I am 5'3" and neither of us can find a comfortable position. Wish I had spent more time in the store test driving this recliner.

I’m also considering the Irving swivel chair. Would appreciate anyone’s feedback on comfort and fabric selection. Thanks!

While the Irving chair is attractive, it is WAY too small for sitting comfortably for any length of time. Also quite light, travels backwards every time I sit on it. If I had not purchased on line but have had the opportunity to try it out, I would not have purchased it!!! Will be relegated to the bedrooms!!

@Runnermom how are you liking your Aiden Swivel chair? Can you add a picture if you've received it.

I absolutely LOVE the Aiden Swivel chairs. Sooo glad I went with them. Anyone who has sat down on them tells me it’s the most comfy chair. Also love the gray color! Here are some pics in case it helps.

@Runnermom - do you still like your Aiden Swivel chairs? My SO has been trying to get me to order the Irving Roll arm leather chair w nailheads for about a year - for the hearth area in my kitchen. I hadn’t ever bought anything from Pottery Barn before - until about a month ago when I ordered one of their toddler Anywhere Chairs that can be embroidered with the child’s name across the back. That purchase was great - but it was about $140 kid’s chair!

My SO is purchasing the chairs - he doesn’t like my rattan furniture (with leather cushions) love seat/chair/ottoman that i currently have in that spot. I don’t use that area really - but he likes watching sports there when my daughter and I are watching something else in the family room (I just cannot get into watching golf on TV - and while I like watching ”my” sports teams play football/basketball - I dont like watching random teams). He brought them up again this past weekend because it was finally cold enough to use the fireplace - he wound up bringing my leather wingback chair/ottoman out of my study and putting it in front of the fireplace.

I’ve been selecting bacsically everything we’ve bought so far, so I decided to look at the dimensions to make sure that they’d work in the space. While I liked the width/depth - was surprised about the overall height - seemed short (obviously, much shorter than my windgback chair - which I’ve had for almost 20 years - and still looks great and is super comfy). I am pretty sure that he looked at them in the store - but I dont know how long he sat in them. . .

Anyway - he likes the ”look” of PB stuff - so, I thought that maybe I could get him to switch to another PB chair - and I like yours.

Thanks!

We still LOVE LOVE the Aiden chairs. I loved the look of the rolling arm/nail head version of the Irving chair as well, but I prioritized comfort over aesthetics. (if I had a huge house with both a formal living space that wasn’t used much and a separate family room den that was used all the time, I’d put the Irving in the former and the Aiden in the latter. The Irving chair looks much more formal but it is far less comfortable than the Aiden chair.). The Aiden chair has a pillow on the back that makes up for the shorter height of the chair. My 6’2” husband went and sat on it in the store to make sure it worked. I recommend going into a Pottery Barn and trying both chairs out like we did. Call ahead to find out which Pottery Barn store has which chairs on display. We really can’t get enough of these Aiden chairs.

@Runnermom - thanks for your reply! I’m going to show him the Aiden chairs - along with your comment. He’s the one who is going to be using them primarily - and I know that ”being comfortable” is important to him!

I am turning my formal dining room into a wine room - with four chair conversation configuration. I think the Irving chairs would work in there better than in the hearth area that will be used a lot more!

Did anyone else have this issue? We purchased Irving swivel chairs with nail heads and less than six months after receiving delivery of these chairs, the nail head finish is totally wearing off.

@Denise Aziz - REALLY??!! My SO has been pressing me to order the chairs (and still wants them for the hearth area in kitchen) - and I’ve just been very hestitant to pull the trigger.

I think part of it is because I have a Lillian August leather wingback chair + ottoman (down wrapped cushions) with nailheads that I’ve had for 20 years - and it’s still in great condition and is extremely comfy.

Not home to snap a photo of the chair - this photo is from before I started renovating my house to bring it out of 2003 ish 😂

The ottoman looks a little ”dented” - but that’s only because my sister’s dog had just been sitting on it before pic taken (Tucker was 3/4 Saint Bernard - a 110 lbs - and thought he was a lap dog). I actually took the photo because I was laughing about how I could pile all of my dogs (four at the time - mom, dad, big brother and baby brother) - on there and not make even a slight indentation!

Completely unnecessary photo:

Left to right - back row - Mom Molly (yorkiepoo), Dad Ty (yorkie), and big brother Sam. Front row - baby brother Milo is sleeping (with his tongue peeking out!) - under dad’s paw.

Back to the actual post . . .

I worry about these chairs holding up to use - especially with my SO using them . .

I just think the PB leather chairs + ottomans aren’t going to last - and your comment just made me even more convinced!

Are you all by chance misspelling Aiden vs Ayden? I’m thinking of buying the Ayden swivel barrel chair by Pottery Barn but now thinking these are 2 different chairs? Thanks

Janet, they are the Ayden is a barrel chair the aiden is squared

2 different chairs Ayden isca rounded barrel chair ayden is square
