1. A faux leather butterfly chair because your "Rustic Farmhouse Meets Mid-Century Modern Vibes" Pinterest board isn't a stretch of the imagination!
And while it's sleek on its own, you can always dress it up with some cool throw pillows or cozy blankets!
Promising review: "This chair is a stunner. It took a bit of time and effort to put it together… No tools required ( though I did use a hammer with a towel underneath to get the last piece to snap in). 12 pieces plus the leather seat takes a bit of time and effort but wow, does it pay off. They’re very beautiful. Comfy too, though I find them even more comfortable with a pillow at the back. I bought two and I’m keeping them both as a chair in each bedroom. They don’t take up much space and they look expensive! The leather is very good quality and I love the Bauhaus look." —Robin kessler

Promising review: "Best purchase yet! The chair is large, so I can comfortably sit with my legs crossed. The cushions are so thick and plush. I love it! The cushions stay up nicely. I let the cushions air out for a day and a half, even though it’s supposed to be 72 hours. They are still very well plush and expanded. It adds a nice modern touch to my living room. I would 100% recommend getting this!" —Destiny DeMoss

Promising review: "At first I wasn’t sure about this chair. It was easy to put together, so that was great. I wasn’t sure how comfortable it was, but now that I’ve had some time (a few months) to use it, I have to say that it’s great! The chair kind of requires you to sink into it in order to be supported, so if you like to sit low, this is a good choice. But if you’re a taller person or if you like to sit more upright, this may not be the right chair for you." —S.

Then, I had a friend visit later and I gave her my bed, and I slept on this peacefully. I’m 5’3” though, not sure if someone a lot taller would be comfortable. In the chair position I love the width for curling up into it. Cup holders are key too!" –Kapples

26. A modern lounge chair sleek and sophisticated enough to fit into a formal environment but comfortable enough to lounge in for hours. Its lack of traditional armrests means it's perfect if you're a person who likes to splay out.
27. A tufted plush velvet chair with an ottoman that conveniently slides right underneath, making it great for sprucing up a small bedroom and making it feel expansive and homey.
28. A stylish mid-century modern swivel chair for making those late-night Wikipedia binges at your desk (which inevitably turn into a Wikipedia binge in your bed several feet away) feel more professional.
Promising review: "I bought this chair for my home 'office' which is in my living room since I have a small one-bedroom apartment. The grey color is a true grey and matches my gray couch. The wooden legs look much nicer than a normal desk chair with wheels, plus wheels would not work well on carpet. The chair is sturdy, it does not wobble. The swivel is very helpful so that I can easily get in and out from my desk by twisting it as opposed to pulling the chair out each time. Overall very happy with this chair." —Kirby
Get it from Amazon for $159.99+ (clip the coupon on the product page to save 5%; available in 18 colors and fabrics).

Get it from Amazon for $249.99+ (available in six colors).
30. An armless velvet chair with an ottoman for the person who wants a chair that'll create a focal point in any room. And the bolster pillow can be moved around for extra lumbar support.
31. A petite chair if you want to add a pop of color to your space. It's on the smaller side, so it's a good fit if you're low on square footage but need a cute and comfortable place to sit back and relax.
32. A reclining glider that swivels if you want a chair that can do the most. FYI, a glider is a chair that moves back and forth on a fixed track. It's built for noiselessly swaying with your newborn, but there's no reason you can't use it just for yourself. I have one that I used all the time during my kids' infant stage, but now that they're older, it's still my favorite chair, and one that I read in often.
Ah yes, the simple pleasure of sitting in a really great chair.
