Elroy Accent Chair with Wooden Legs

Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 1, 2026

Elroy owners across all colors praise compact comfort, but some find it small and shallow, and a few report cracked legs

Room×Lab read all 370 distinct written Target guest reviews of the Elroy Accent Chair across its colors: the current Cream Faux Shearling, Brown Velvet and Olive Green Velvet and the earlier Natural Linen and tan versions. Star ratings without a written comment are not included. Of these reviews, 367 are older and 3 are recent. Color, texture, care and seat measurements can differ between upholstery versions. The reviews below include the leg, fit and upholstery complaints, two of them after about two years of use, alongside owners who praise the comfort and compact size.

Room×Lab rating: 7.4 out of 10 (medium confidence). Elroy owners across all colors rate it 4.5 stars and praise its comfort and small-room footprint. Body fit splits opinion: some find the seat firm and shallow and the back low. A few owners report cracked legs, chipped leg finishes or body upholstery torn by pets. Independent long-term accounts are few.

• Comfort depends on how you sit: 167 favorable mentions; 68 concerns — Owners often call it comfortable compact accent seating. The concerns: a firm seat, a low back with little upper-back support, and a back pillow that pushes the sitter forward and shortens the usable seat.
• Compact dimensions suit smaller rooms: 126 favorable mentions; 36 concerns — The small footprint is a recurring advantage in smaller rooms, but some taller or broader adults find the seat and back undersized, and one owner called it suitable mainly as decorative corner seating.
• Mostly sturdy, with a few leg and upholstery failures: 43 favorable mentions; 9 concerns — Owners more often call it sturdy, but a few report cracked or split legs, including one rear leg that cracked after about two years, chipped leg finishes, and body upholstery torn by pets.

Before buying

Measure your space against the 31.5-inch width, and check that the 16.5-inch seat depth and low back suit your height, since some adults find the chair small. Check the legs and seams on arrival, and confirm the warranty for your color.
