Customer comments about Soren Dining Chair:

Our black Soren dining chairs offer a great contrast to our Danish modern walnut dining table. They are reasonably comfortable for chairs that don't have cushions. Unfortunately, they are expensive and the dowels squeak when you move around. But they make a great statement and are wonderful to look at.

Pros

  • Comfortable
  • Easy to clean
  • Great Design
  • Quality construction

Cons

    Best Uses

    • Dining Room

    Customer comments about Soren Dining Chair:

    We bought these in ebony to go with a walnut dining table. They look fabulous and we get tons of compliments -- even from another furniture builder! They pretty much "make" the room. Once we saw them, we knew we would never find any that we liked better, and even my very budget-conscious husband thought them to be the right pick. We like having non-upholstered dining chairs (we have toddlers) that still look very high-style.

    Service and delivery comments:

    I wouldn't gush if it wasn't earned, but I really can't think of a way Room & Board could improve its service. Every time I buy from them, absolutely nothing annoying happens. I cancelled this order, for example, when it was already on the truck in order to change my mind on the finish of the chairs and the fabric of a sofa I ordered. The whole hassle was absorbed by Room & Board at no cost to me, and they could not have been nicer about it.

      Customer comments about Soren Dining Chair:

      We bought a cherry pair to go with a mix of others (black Ikea/maple Paul McCobb) around our glass/aluminum dining table. These chairs are super comfortable. The shape of the taper at the ends of the top rail/arm rests is a really nice detail and the form feels great in the hand.

      Easily damaged, don't pair with Saarinen

      By justin24601

      from St. Louis, MO

      Style Mid-century modern

      Pros

      • Comfortable
      • Great Design

      Cons

      • Bad Finish
      • Poor quality
      • Wrong height

      Best Uses

        Customer comments about Soren Dining Chair:

        We are currently working with Room and Board, and will probably select different chairs. This gorgeous chair is often pictured with the Saarinen dining table, but if you push them in the slightest too much, they scratch and dent. They really don't pair with this table due to the arms. Just sitting in them has scratched and dented them. I am not sure if the wood is too soft, or the finish isn't strong enough, but they are very precious. Owning them for a little over a month, they look like they've been around for years (in a home of 2 responsible adults).

          My first four years of college I sat in a regular office chair. The next six I will be sitting in this work of art. It is absolutely comfortable and you can certainly trust me on this, I have already spent hundreds of hours in it. The walnut is warm and comforting.

          Service and delivery comments:

          [@], the delivery guy, and I became friends. Please give that man a raise. It is virtually impossible to park downtown Philly.

              Customer comments about Soren Dining Chair:

              I bought two Soren chairs to serve as extra seating for my dining guests. During the day they serve as extra seating in my home office. They are the perfect chairs to serve this dual purpose and add a tremendous amount of style to the rooms. The only thing holding me back from buying more and using 6 of these for my daily dining is the fact that they do no fit fully under a table but I was aware of this prior to purchase and based on the photos. Overall I am extremely happy with my purchase and the customer service/delivery team.

                    Yes, natural cherry is one of the options for the Soren chair. We offer a black leather seat pad as an option but not an upholstered version of the Soren. Both options can be found by searching Soren but let us know if you'd like assistance. 800.301.9720
