Set of 2 Modern Black Faux Leather Barrel Chairs with Tufted Upholstery and Nailhead Trim for Living Room and Bedroom

I just got my hands on these black faux leather barrel chairs, and honestly, I’m pretty impressed! I’ve been looking for something to spruce up my apartment’s living room for ages, and these fit the bill perfectly. They’re not huge—about 29 inches wide and tall—which is actually perfect for my smaller space. They don’t overwhelm the room like my friend’s massive armchair that takes up half her living area!
The chairs came as a set of two, which was kind of a bonus because I needed seating for both sides of my coffee table. They’re surprisingly lightweight at about 24.5 pounds each, but don’t let that fool you—these babies can hold up to 330 pounds! I was a bit worried my brother-in-law (who’s a pretty big guy) might break them when he visited, but they handled his weight without any issues whatsoever.
What I really love is how the black faux leather looks way more expensive than what I actually paid. The diamond tufting on the back gives them this upscale vibe, and those little nailhead details along the edges? *chef’s kiss* They remind me of the chairs at this fancy hotel lobby I stayed at last year, but like, actually affordable! The curved barrel shape is pretty comfy too—definitely more supportive than my old IKEA chair that I finally got rid of.
Setting these up was ridiculously easy. To be fair, I was dreading the assembly (I’m terrible with instructions), but you literally just screw on the four legs by hand. No tools, no cursing at confusing diagrams—took me maybe two minutes tops.
The seat cushions are removable, which is a huge plus since my cat thinks everything I own is her personal scratching post. The faux leather wipes clean so easily—much better than my old fabric chair that showed every spill and pet hair. I’ve had them for a few weeks now and they’re holding up great with daily use.
I’ve got one in my bedroom corner for my little reading nook, and the other in the living room. They’re not bad at all for extended sitting—I binged an entire season of my favorite show without getting uncomfortable, thanks to that high-density foam they use in the cushions.
If you’ve got a smaller space but don’t want to compromise on style, these are definitely worth checking out. They’ve got this versatile look that would work with pretty much any decor—I’ve got a sort of modern-ish vibe going, but they’d fit in just as well with something more traditional.
