Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I’d never heard of Stone & Beam before, so I did a bit of research online but couldn’t find anything about the company outside of Amazon. They offer not only contemporary furniture, but also slip covers, rugs, wall art, and lighting. Their furniture seems to only come in two neutral colors – fawn and slate, resulting in pieces that will fit in with just about any color scheme. This “46 in overstuffed chair has so far proven to be a solidly built, quality piece of furniture. The chair comes with a seat cushion and a back pillow cushion that have so far retained their shape. In many cases, these separate pieces tent to either settle or bunch within the first month of use. These are usually filled with synthetic cotton material that requires annual restuffing. In this case, the down-filled backing has maintained its overstuffed appearance and remains comfortable. Additionally, the white thread stitching throughout is tight and blends nicely with the fawn color. We have dogs, cats, and kids – all the ingredients necessary to destroy light-colored furniture in a matter of days. So far the chair has been subjected to wet and/or muddy dog paws, as well as one or two water spills. The fawn colored fabric cleaned quickly with just a rag and water with no residual staining. Past furniture I’ve owned has either retained a water stain or lost some of its color. It could be that I got to these spills quickly, but the fact that it cleaned up as if nothing happened is ever so convenient. We’ll see if that ability lasts for an extended period of time. The chair itself is around 90 pounds and comes in a big cardboard box that will make an awesome playhouse home for your kids. The chair is wrapped in bubble wrap to protect the fabric, wooden legs, and framing. The box did not fit through the front door, so we had to remove the chair from the box and maneuver it through the much wider patio door. Even then, it was a tight fit, but we got it in place. The seat cushion is was little stiff at first but has slightly broken in to provide comfortable support. I’m 6’2 and can fit snugly on the chair with my legs crossed. I’ve even fallen asleep in a few times. So it passes the comfort test. I like this so much, that I’m looking into getting the matching sofa. Stone & Beam is definitely a brand I’m interested in learning more about. They offer a selection of sofas, chairs, ottomans, and artwork that has a bit of contemporary country charm that I really find appealing. Stone & Beam has a 30 day free return policy. If their furniture doesn’t meet your needs, contact them and they’ll pick it up and refund your money. I’ll update this review as the months go by – time will tell how well this holds up with frequent use. But right now, I love it. If this chair holds up, they’re definitely on my list when I decide to replace other pieces of furniture. ***ONE MONTH UPDATE*** The chair is still holding strong - no sagging, solid framework, and the material is still cleaning up nicely. I'm also impressed that the material does not attract and hold pet hair. It still has to be vacuumed, but the smooth material makes it easy. We have other furniture that just hangs on and doesn't let go - putting the vacuum's pet brush to the test. Overall -- still impressed with it!
