Avington Banker's Chair product details page

I didnt know what to expect reading the reviews but after getting it put together I have this to say... It was one of the easiest pieces of furniture that I have ever put together. If you complained about it being difficult then I would guess you would have trouble putting together a childrens puzzle. If you can put in about a dozen screws and look at an instruction booklet, with pictures, then I think you will be able to get it done in the twenty minutes it took me. I think it took longer to clean up the styrofoam pieces than put the chair together. As for the chair itself... looks great, is comfortable, and is exactly what I expected it to be. Maybe a bit over priced but the overall quality looks like it may be worth it.

I ordered this chair from Target.com. It came damaged, so I had to return it to the local Target store--which was great because mailing it back would have been difficult. As soon as the new chair arrived, I opened the box and saw that everything was okay. I remembered reading several reviews about the instructions being written wrong and parts being mislabeled. But as I read the instructions it seemed as though Target had fixed the issues with assembly. The instructions were all correct, v ery understandable and the chair was extremely easy to assemble. It is a great chair, very worth the money spent. It didn't come with a cushion but could definitely use one!

Grrrrr.....I'm so mad! I bought the Avington desk, filing cabinet and bookcase. All of which I love! The chair came last....first of all it was a nightmare to put together and I put all three of the other pieces together no problem. And then when I finally finished I wheeled it into the office and the darn thing doesn't even match!!! Its about 2-3 shades lighter than the rest of the furniture. Not happy!! Such a shame because its such a cute style chair.

This chair no longer comes with a cushion despite the photos and what the description states!!!! After I bought this chair online - purchased the desk/hutch and side table in store - I was disappointed that the cushion wasn't in the box. [...] Although the cushion would be nice to have, its absence wasn't enough to make me want to return it. The chair is nice, looks somewhat sturdy and fits the style of what I was looking for. The only thing with the chair is that the seat back isn't as high as I thought it would be. Overall, I think it will suit my needs.

This chair looks great with my wooden library desk. Assembly - 3 of the bolts had indentations so shallow that the provided allen wrench continuously slid out. The bolts holding the "chair mechanism" to the seat would not screw into the wood using the provided allen wrench. So, a strong friend used his own tools to assemble the chair. Use - Pulling out the handle, on the "chair mechanism," allows the seat to rock back and forth.

this chair is really nice. very sturdy,and the cushion is also very nice and sturdy,and fit the chair perfectly. I bought the chair, desk, and the hutch, and all three came in perfect condition, and all the screws, and directions where in the box. this collection is the best for the price. it looks rich as others have said, for the price, you can't beat it. I also bought 2 console tables, and I am happy with those also. It is a very nice sturdy collection. I applaud Target for carrying such a nice selection of furniture. All the pieces came in only 2 days, so that is another nice thing, target was on the ball. Very efficient, which I appreciate. and everything was so easy to put together, even the chair.

Saw this chair online at good price and it shipped quickly. Was just too good to be true. When I opened the box to assemble over the weekend...first noticed that some of the finishing on the separate pieces not that great (but maybe would be on the side not showing). Then realize am missing all of the tools (screws, bolts, etc) that are supposed to come with it. [...]. In fact, I might just return this pile of mess to the Target store tomorrow (missing tools and all).

A well-constructed, extremely comfortable chair with a sturdy seat cushion is a must for me as I spend many hours at my desk each day. This meets all of the criteria and is a beautiful piece of furniture to boot. I will be using this chair for years to come.
