Bergen Wooden Arm Accent Chair: Solid Wood Frame, 18cm Cushions, Lumbar Pillow, 150kg
By Furniture1002 min read
The Bergen is the wooden-armed reading chair in our lounge range: a solid wood frame with curved arms that follow the line of your forearm, deep high-density cushions, and a lumbar pillow in the box. It is the mid-century armchair people buy for a corner with a lamp, and twelve buyers have reviewed it with the same warmth.
What it is
An armchair with a natural solid wood frame and curved wooden armrests, upholstered in a breathable cover over high-density foam. The product page states the cushions run up to 18cm thick and are shaped to fit the curve of the waist and back, and it includes a small lumbar pillow for the lower spine. The stated load is 150kg.
Who it suits
A reading corner, a bedroom, or the end of a sofa in a room that leans Scandinavian or mid-century. The wooden arms are the appeal: they are the warm element, and they make the chair look like a piece of furniture rather than an upholstered block.
Denise's review covers most of it: "Great chair, easy to assemble, took me about 30 minutes start to finish. I love the light oak teak look of the wood. It is super comfortable, the back pillow helps too. Sleek and stylish."
The four versions
- Beige is the light, natural one and the version in our photograph.
- Green sits well with plants and cream walls.
- Grey is the quiet choice against a colourful sofa.
- Camel is a leather-effect cover rather than fabric, warmer and wipe-clean.
Frame, arms and cushions are the same on all four.
What buyers say
"It is comfortable, soft and very pretty, and also comes with a small cushion."
"Great price with free delivery. Putting them together was just a bit taxing, but we did it. I love them."
Living with it
Vacuum the fabric with a soft brush and blot spills; wipe the camel leather-effect. Dust the wooden arms.

Frequently asked questions
How thick are the cushions?
The product page states cushions up to 18cm thick in high-density foam, described as soft but not collapsing, and shaped to the curve of the waist and back.
Does it come with the cushion in the photo?
Yes. A small lumbar pillow is included, and buyers mention it: one notes the back pillow helps, and another was pleased it came with a small cushion.
How much weight does it take?
The stated maximum load is 150kg, on a hard solid wood frame.
How long does it take to build?
One buyer timed it at about thirty minutes start to finish. Another found it a bit taxing but managed. Allow half an hour and a second pair of hands helps.
Are the four versions the same chair?
Same frame and shape; the cover changes. The beige, green and grey are fabric, and the camel is a leather-effect. Choose the fabric for the room and the wood tone shows through on all of them.
