Grey Leather Armchair

What is in this collection

Nineteen listings, 14 in stock, and most of it reclines: eight electric chairs, one manual, the rest fixed. Ranges include Valerie, Verona, Annecy, Dalmore, Cinema, Chesterfield, Cidliano, Valencia, Turin, Renato, Dandrea, Vantage, Islington and Amarien, which is a lot for nineteen chairs. For the wider category, see our leather armchairs collection.

Grey, light grey and dark grey are not the same

Three shades sit under one collection name. The Renato and Dandrea chairs are light grey, the Islington is dark grey, and everything else is grey. They will not match one another, nor necessarily a grey sofa you own, so read the shade in the product title rather than the collection heading. To compare grey across the store, see our grey sofas collection.

Some chairs appear twice, at two prices

Worth flagging plainly. Four armchairs are listed once at a standard price and once as outlet stock: the Valencia manual recliner, the Renato light grey, the Annecy grey and the Dalmore grey. In three of the four the outlet listing is cheaper and still available, usually down to a single unit. They are the same chair, so compare both before ordering. For end-of-line stock, see our outlet collection.

Genuine leather or leather

Eleven of the nineteen titles state Genuine Leather: Annecy, Dalmore, Cidliano, Turin, Renato, Dandrea, Vantage and Amarien, plus the outlet twins. The other eight state Leather without a grade, so we call those leather and claim nothing further. Applying the better word across a whole collection is the sort of overclaim that produces returns. For confirmed hide, see our genuine leather sofas collection.

Fixed, manual recliner or electric

A fixed armchair has no mechanism and no cable to plan around, and is usually the shallowest. A manual recliner tilts back on a side lever; only the Valencia is manual here. An electric recliner runs from a motor and settles anywhere between upright and fully back rather than at a fixed notch. Eight are electric. For every reclining single seat, see our recliner armchairs collection.

Power and clearance for the electric chairs

An electric chair plugs into an ordinary mains socket, so the question is where the cable runs, and a chair in the middle of a room needs more thought than one against a wall. Any recliner also needs clearance behind for the backrest and in front for the footrest: a chair that fits closed can be unusable against a wall. For powered seating beyond single chairs, see our electric recliner sofas collection.

The Cinema chair with cup holders

One chair here has a cup holder built into each armrest, and it is an electric recliner. The feature is the reason the range exists, so look at the product images to see how the holder sits in the arm. It is flagged as clearance, meaning end-of-line rather than core range, so if it suits you it is worth not waiting. For sofa sets with the same feature, see our cup holder sofa sets collection.

The Chesterfield Antique armchair

One traditional shape sits in an otherwise contemporary grid. A deep-buttoned Chesterfield is a classic design, and Antique in the title describes that style, not the age: a new armchair in an antique-style finish, not a period piece. Worth knowing if you are pairing it with a modern sofa, since it reads as a deliberate contrast. For the range across sofas, see our leather sofas collection.

Where an armchair earns its place

A single chair is the easiest way to add a seat to a room already furnished, and it need not match your sofa. A reading corner, a bay window or a bedroom all suit one. A recliner needs more room than a fixed chair once in use, so the spot that works for one may not work for the other. For single seats generally, see our armchairs and 1 seater sofas collection.

Measuring before you order

Take the width, depth and height from the product page and mark that footprint on your floor with tape, adding recline clearance at both ends if it reclines. Then measure the route in. An armchair is easier to get in than a sofa, but a powered recliner is heavier than it looks, and the packaged dimensions are the figures to compare. Our sofa measuring guide sets out the method.

Caring for leather

Dust regularly and wipe with a slightly damp cloth rather than rubbing at marks. Genuine leather takes an occasional conditioner to keep the hide supple; a chair whose title states only leather may not, so check the care label. Keep them out of direct sunlight and away from radiators, and avoid harsh cleaners. Full guidance is in our care guide.

Stock, outlet units and single pieces

Fourteen of nineteen are in stock, but the outlet listings are down to one unit each, so those go quickly and will not come back. Five are sold out and carry a back-in-stock alert; we will not promise a date. If a chair is outlet stock, treat it as available now or not at all. Our sofa buying guide covers choosing between formats.

Delivery

Delivery is free across England and Wales and usually takes 7–10 working days. Our two-person team carries the chair into your chosen ground-floor room, access permitting. An electric chair plugs into a mains socket on arrival, and removal of your old chair can be arranged at the same time. Full timescales are on our delivery information page.

Why buy your armchair from Furniture Instore

On a collection with duplicate listings and three shades sharing one name, the useful thing we offer is saying so. We tell you which four chairs appear twice and that the outlet version is usually cheaper, which eleven titles confirm genuine leather, and that the light greys and the dark grey are not the same as the greys. We do not offer you a faux leather chair, because we do not stock one. Sit in them at our Coventry showroom first. Customers rate us Trustpilot Excellent, 4.8★ from 4,800+ reviews.
