Joshua Dining Chair family

Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 12, 2026

A Pearl Beige owner reports chairs looking new after almost four years; across colors, some want more padding and a higher seat

Room×Lab read 435 distinct written reviews of the Joshua Chair on Castlery, covering one-, two- and three-pair orders; a household's larger order counts once. Owners write about the pictured Pearl Beige and about Charcoal Gray and Meadow Yellow chairs from the US, Australia and Singapore, used for dining, occasional work and mixed-color sets; colors may differ in materials. Most do not say how long they have owned them; several report three to almost four years, and older chairs may differ from current production. The reviews below show three owners reporting three to almost four years of use, one seat-height and padding complaint and two chairs that arrived cracked; 393 of the 435 give five stars.

Room×Lab rating: 7.7 out of 10 (limited confidence). One Pearl Beige owner reports chairs still looking new after almost four years, another after nearly three with children and pets; a Meadow Yellow owner reports three years of steady comfort. Across colors, owners split on cushioning for long sits and on seat height. Reviewers earned Castlery loyalty points.

• Padding and long-sit comfort draw more complaints than praise: 11 favorable and 18 critical mentions about cushioning and prolonged sitting. — These counts cover only reviews that discuss cushioning, not all 435. Critical mentions describe padding too thin for long sits, and some appear in five-star reviews. Pearl Beige and Charcoal Gray owners both praise the cushioning and ask for more padding; Meadow Yellow owners include multi-hour comfort praise and a milder padding reservation.
• Several chairs held up for years; two structural faults reported in use: 10 favorable mentions of chairs holding up in use; 2 mentions of structural problems. — These counts are not a failure rate. A Pearl Beige owner reports almost four years; Charcoal Gray and Meadow Yellow owners report three. The two problems: a Meadow Yellow chair that cracked within days, and a slightly wobbly Pearl Beige chair with no fix described. Chairs that arrived cracked are separate accounts; check each frame on delivery.
• Owners report easy cleaning, including around pets: 9 favorable and 3 critical mentions concerning cleaning and pet-household experience. — Pearl Beige owners describe successful stain removal and retained appearance around pets; a Meadow Yellow owner removed dried mud by vacuuming and dusting. Charcoal Gray owners say the color hides stains rather than that stains came out, and one owner reports the cushion covers do not come off.

Before buying

Choose the Pearl Beige Joshua for chairs owners say still looked new after nearly three and almost four years, if you accept padding some find thin for long sits. Check seat height against your table and each frame for cracks on delivery.
