Room×Lab Review · Review updated August 28, 2026

Across the Skinny Fat collection, owners praise deep comfort and custom fit; early pilling and a low back are the cautions

Room×Lab read all 270 distinct written reviews behind the 271 Skinny Fat ratings on BenchMade Modern's site. They cover the whole collection (standard and extra-deep sofas, loveseats, sectionals, chaises, sofa beds, beds and chairs), so they describe the collection more than this chair. Every rating is four or five stars, and BenchMade Modern's terms let it screen, edit or remove reviews at any time. It flagged 37 of the 270 as incentivized; none of the six below was. Those six describe sofas and sectionals; two state use periods, about four months and seven years.

Room×Lab rating: 8.7 out of 10 (medium confidence). Owners across the Skinny Fat collection, not this chair alone, average 4.93 stars over 271 ratings; the store shows none below four and may edit or remove reviews. Comfort, customization and service lead. Low-back fit and fabric wear vary by sitter and upholstery.

  • Comfort favors lounging: 149 favorable mentions; 6 concerns — Comfort is the most praised point across Skinny Fat reviews. The 6 concerns name separate issues: a low back (one sofa owner added pillows for neck support during long TV sessions), a deep seat for upright sitters, unevenly filled cushions and occasional excess firmness.
  • Customization solves difficult rooms: 61 favorable mentions; 5 concerns — Custom sizing, floor templates, swatches and staff guidance often helped owners fit difficult spaces. One sectional owner solved an unusually sized room with a floor template and separately sized sections. Check this chair's 26-inch seat depth against your posture before ordering.
  • Fabric and finish depend on the selection: 114 favorable mentions; 8 concerns — Owners often praised color, appearance and fabric feel. The 8 concerns name separate issues: a performance weave that began pilling after one month (a fabric shaver made it manageable), pet-pulled threads, minor finishing flaws and upholstery that was hard to judge from a small swatch.

Before buying

Check the 26-inch seat and low back against how you sit; a sofa owner found the deep seat favors curled-up lounging. Template the 45 × 40-inch footprint, order swatches, confirm care and replacement cushions; returns after day 14 cost a 10% fee plus shipping.
