Denton Office Chair: Button-Tufted PU Leather, Twenty Reviews, Three Colours
By Furniture1002 min read
The Denton is our most reviewed office chair, and the reviews say the same two things twenty times over: it is comfortable, and it went together without fuss. It is a button-tufted PU leather desk chair with arms, a tilting back, a gas lift and castors, in three vintage colours. It looks like a small club chair and works like a task chair.
What it is
Seat and back are wrapped in PU leather with classic button tufting, over high-density foam. There are padded arms. The back tilts, the seat height adjusts on a gas lift, and the base is a five-point swivel on castors.
It arrives flat-packed with illustrated instructions. The seat comes as one piece; the base attaches to it.
Who it suits
Someone who works from home and wants a chair they can settle into rather than perch on. It is a padded chair, not a firm ergonomic one, and that is what buyers like about it. It suits a study, a spare room or a reading corner, and it holds its own in a living room because of the tufting.
The arms and the tilt make it a long-day chair. Check the arm height against the underside of your desk if the desk has a low rail.
The three colours
- Vintage brown is the classic. It suits wood, it hides marks, and it is the one most people mean when they picture this chair.
- Green is the one reviewers single out. "It's really nice looking too and a fab colour." It suits cream walls and brass.
- White is the bright option for a light room. It wipes clean but shows a mark until you do.
What buyers say
Twenty buyers have reviewed the Denton. On comfort:
"Received the chair promptly and was put together very easily and feels sturdy. It's so comfy and ideal for when I work from home occasionally."
On size and assembly:
"Perfect for a small space and very comfortable. Was really easy to put together too. Only a base, and the seat comes whole."
"Great computer chair, really comfortable and easy to put together."
Living with it
A damp cloth for the PU leather; it does not need conditioning the way hide does. On a hard floor, check the castors or lay a mat.

Frequently asked questions
What adjusts on the Denton?
The backrest tilt and the seat height, and it swivels and rolls on castors. It is a fully adjustable desk chair dressed as a vintage armchair.
How hard is the Denton to put together?
Twenty reviews and not one assembly complaint. It arrives flat-packed with illustrated instructions; as one buyer put it, only a base to fit, and the seat comes whole.
Is PU leather good for a desk chair?
It wipes clean, it does not fade, and it gives the tufted chesterfield look at a fraction of the cost of hide. It is not leather and will not patina like leather, which is why we call it PU rather than leather.
Is it comfortable for working from home?
Buyers who work from home describe it as comfortable and supportive, with the high-density foam holding its shape. It is a padded chair rather than a firm ergonomic one, which suits people who like to settle into a seat.
Which colour?
Vintage brown is the classic and the most forgiving. Green is the one reviewers call a fab colour and the one that gets noticed. White is for a light room and a light desk, and wants a wipe more often.
