A low, leaned-back chair with cushions held by leather straps. For reading, not for getting up quickly.
Measurements are for the first option. “Door” is the narrowest side, which is what passes a door frame. How to check access.

At 37 cm the seat is the lowest in the range and the back reclines further than any other chair we make. It is a chair to sink into with a book, and it is a chair you climb out of rather than stand up from. We say so on every page where it appears.
The straps that carry the arm cushions are vegetable-tanned leather. They start pale and darken to tan within a year, and they stretch a few millimetres and then stop.

I measured the door against the number on the page and it went through on its side with four centimetres to spare, exactly as promised. The two delivery men were polite and quick.
The linen creases, as the page said it would. I have stopped noticing. What I notice is that the seat has not sagged at all in fourteen months.
Firmer than it looks and the oak has gone a shade darker already. Both of those were written in the list under Before you buy, which I read after it arrived. Read it before.

Natural oak is pale gold and darkens to amber. Smoked oak is fumed to a deep brown and stays there. Ash is the palest of the three and goes to honey. All are oiled, none lacquered.
Lamp shades are hand-rolled linen in natural, charcoal or ochre. Upholstery colours are chosen with the swatches above; samples of any fabric are free by email.
