Room×Lab Review · Review updated August 28, 2026

Rus owners across all finishes praise the comfort and sturdy feel; chipped or peeling finishes and cracks are the recurring complaint

Room×Lab read 546 distinct written owner reviews on Article, out of 718 ratings; the other 172 ratings carry no comment. Article shows reviews of the black chair alongside reviews of other current and past Rus colors and finishes, so every count and rating here covers the whole Rus family. Where an owner named a finish, their card says so. One owner updated their review after about three months of use. The reviews below cover finish damage at delivery, a poor back fit, cracking within months, a prompt replacement of a chipped chair, and two owners' praise.

Room×Lab rating: 7.0 out of 10 (medium confidence). Two Reddit owners of the black Rus found it comfortable. Across all Rus colors, Article reviewers praise the comfort and sturdy feel, but repeated reports of chipped or peeling finishes and cracking, plus mixed support outcomes, cap the score.

  • Comfort and body fit: 189 favorable; 19 critical mentions across all Rus colors — Many owners found the curved back supportive. Critical owners felt the top rail or front seat edge press into them, and some with broader backs found the back too narrow; one returned the chairs for that reason.
  • Durability: 41 favorable; 49 critical mentions across all Rus colors — Recurring critical reports describe separate problems: chipped or peeling finishes, bubbling veneer, dents, and cracks or splits. One owner found cracking in four of six chairs within about three months. Outright breakage is reported only occasionally.
  • Service and support: 32 favorable; 26 critical mentions across all Rus colors — Several owners had a chipped or damaged chair replaced promptly at no cost. Others reported delays, limited compensation, or finish wear and cracking that continued after replacement, and some returned the chairs instead.

Before buying

Sit in a Rus before buying if you can: the curved top rail pressed into some owners' backs. Across all colors, chipped or peeling finishes and cracks are the main complaint, so check every chair on delivery.
