Extra Wide Orthopedic High Seat Chair (19" SEAT HEIGHT) For the Elderly or Infirm- PLUM - Firm and comfortable, ideal for the disabled - Also Available in BROWN, BEIGE and GREEN

I have MS and therefore spend a lot of time sitting. Physiotherapists and OT's have encouraged me to give some thought to the design of the chair that I use most. In summery it has to be the correct height and provide adequate support to my back and legs. After some on line research I ordered this chair from Cavendish through Amazon.It arrived promptly and was very securely packaged. Despite the absence of any instructions (there is one thing that could have been done wrongly) it was quickly assembled and put in place.I find it very comfortable and supportive, although it is not always easy to get up from it as the seat cushion has a slope from front to rear thereby one's bottom is below the level of the knees. this requires the sitter to slide forwards towards the front of the seat. The problem with this that the upholstery material is a coarse weave and therefore difficult to slide across.Visually this chair will not be to everyone's taste. It is large and a little "institutional" looking and the colour is not well represented on the website but it is well made and comfortable (just right for that afternoon snooze). I can therefore recommend it but prospective purchasers should not underestimate its overall size.Since writing the review my chair developed a structural fault. I reported this to Cavendish and without question they supplied a replacement - brilliant customer service. I can recommend this supplier and their products without reservation.

Hi good quality at a very good price well recommended thankyou would buy again

We have had this chair (bought via Amazon) for a little over a year. Frankly I had hesitated to review it initially as I assumed that for the price it would not be that great - how wrong I was.It is comfortable to sit in yet (medium-) firm and supportive. The principal user is my elderly father and the height of the seat is excellent - it means he does not have to struggle to get out. My father can sit in it for a good few hours comfortably and the 'wings' mean that he does not fall out if he falls asleep. (We have found our kids also like to snuggle in the chair and read a book.)It feels sufficiently solid that one does not fear it toppling backwards or slipping as my father gets into or out the chair.The fabric feels warm to touch and even after a year there has been no signs of wear or marking.

This is an update to my original review whne i first bought the chair.everything i said in my original was and still is correct,but since then we have had to have a replacement chair due to a factory fault with the orginal.and i have to say the help and friendley communication was fantastic 12 hours after i first contacted them Cavendish replied ,5 days later maybe less and these guys had not only arrived and left a replacement chair ,they actually stayed to put it together for my mum as i was at work,then they dismantled and packed the old one in the box tidied up and took it to their van,the driver and his assistant were friendly ,polite and very helpful.To me ,this is what "after care" and responsibility for the product your selling is all about,this firms reputation is intact and has grown i will be using them again in the future ..thanks again Cavendish

The chair arrived today for my disabled father... He needed a chair with a really good height to it to be able to lower himself in. The chair is absolutely perfect... We have been doing a lot of shopping around to find the right chair and for the price this has blown us away... I had to take a swift pic of a bumless seat as he has now planted himself in it and I don't think we will get him out of it for a while. Quality of chair and fabric are brilliant and the price was spot on.Massive thank you to David and everyone at Cavendish Furniture...We had a bit of a hiccup with the delivery, which was my mistake, but the support received and speed of responses were spot on.

I ordered this chair for my 80 year old father who has a lot of mobility problems. He is unable to visit a shop to try out a chair so we had to take pot luck and order one on line. Not only is this chair a lovely colour and exactly what he wanted but the customer service has been fantastic! The chair was delivered within 4 working days and the delivery driver took the time to attach the legs for my dad before bringing it into the house without being asked. He even moved my dad's old chair out of the way for him.After a few days use my dad noticed that one of the arms was creaking and we called Cavendish who replaced the chair the very next day! Fantastic service! Great product!

Lovely looking chair. Very sturdy. Seat very hard to start with but starting to soften a bit after four months. However my 90 year old mother still thinks the seat is too hard so sits on a cushion. Something to consider if you are looking for comfort over style.

This chair was ordered on Friday and received on Monday morning.It is very comfortable and the seat height is perfect (I am 5'4" tall).However I am very disappointed with the colour and the slightly wobbly screw-on legs. I was expecting 'oatmeal with a tinge of green' as per their description but this chair is definitely green, very green, and not as shown in the picture.
