Thomas Chenille Swivel Accent Chair: Weighted Base, Track Arms, 330lb Rated
By Furniture1002 min read
The Thomas is the low swivel chair in our lounge range: a mid-century shape in dense chenille, track arms you can actually rest on, and a weighted base that turns a full circle without a wobble. It comes in two shapes, a squarer track-arm version and a rounded barrel, and it is one of the few lounge chairs we sell with its dimensions stated to the decimal.
What it is
A low-silhouette swivel chair. The seat and back are padded deep enough to sink into, the arms are straight tracks, and the whole thing rotates 360 degrees on a weighted base that the product page describes as smooth, quiet and free of wobble.
The stated figures, in the inches the page gives with rough conversions:
| Overall | 28in W x 27in D x 25.6in H (about 71 x 69 x 65cm) |
| Seat | 23.6in W x 20.5in D, 19.1in high (about 48cm) |
| Cushion | 6.3in thick (about 16cm) |
| Maximum load | 330lb (about 150kg) |
Who it suits
A living room corner, a bedroom, a home office or a reception area, and anyone who wants a chair that turns to face the window or the television without being dragged. The low back keeps it from blocking a room, and the track arms make it a chair for reading rather than perching.
Track arms or round
- The track arm version has straight arms and a squarer profile. It suits a room with straight lines and a modern sofa.
- The round version is a barrel shape with no hard edges, and suits a softer scheme or a bedroom.
Same fabric, same base, same swivel.
Living with it
The page says the chenille holds its texture and does not shed. Vacuum with a soft brush; blot spills. Assembly is described as simple.

Frequently asked questions
How big is the Thomas chair?
The product page states 28 inches wide, 27 deep and 25.6 high overall, which is about 71cm by 69cm by 65cm, with a seat 23.6 by 20.5 inches and a 19.1 inch seat height, roughly 48cm. The cushion is stated as 6.3 inches, about 16cm, thick.
How much weight does it take?
The stated capacity is 330 pounds, roughly 150kg, on a reinforced frame.
Does it wobble when it turns?
The page describes a full 360 degree rotation on a weighted base, smooth and quiet with no wobble. The weight in the base is what keeps a swivel chair planted.
What is the difference between the two Thomas chairs?
Same chenille, same base. One has straight track arms and a squarer profile; the other is a rounded barrel shape. The track arm version suits a modern room with straight lines, the round one a softer scheme.
Is chenille hard to keep?
The page says it holds its texture and does not shed. Vacuum with a soft brush and blot spills rather than rubbing.
