If you love the look of a spool chair but won’t be using it functionally, these are a steal! I can’t attest to the quality but I’d imagine for the price it’s not great. Likes: Low price point for a quality armchair! Ability to choose from several fabric options and two wood finish options. They were made and shipped pretty quickly!ĭislikes: Not as many fabric options to choose from. Price: They were around $600 each a few years ago but are currently on sale for as low as $570 depending on your fabric selections! Surely if you sign up for the Birch Lane newsletters you’ll end up with a coupon! The classic ticking stripe fabric was a solid choice! It will always work with decor somewhere in our home and hides a multitude of stains! You can order fabric samples directly from the website before purchasing. We chose the white leg (which is much more cream – heads up!) with the cruise adrift fabric. They’ve also held up to my toddler climbing all over them every day for years! 🙂 We’ve had them since 2018 and they’ve held up as our primary living room armchairs. These are the closest dupe (in terms of quality and appearance) that I could find online to my beloved CR Laine chairs. This is my chair! I personally love it and find it really comfortable! My husband likes it too. If you’re an Amelia Island local – stop by Cape House to sit on CR Laine for yourself and check out all of the fabric and finish options available! BETTER I prefer the quality of CR Laine over Ballard for upholstery. If you fall into this category, I’d spend the extra couple hundred dollars and purchase a CR Laine chair over the Ballard option. Ballard Designs also makes a beautiful spool chair that’s around $1,300.

Likes: Incredible quality – will last you a lifetime! Also love that you can choose from any of CR Laine’s wood finishes, welt (piping) options, tapes, and fabrics to create a truly unique custom chair! The possibilities are endless.ĭislikes: The only dislikes are the current turnaround time and the higher price tag. But if this one’s in your budget – you really can’t go wrong! Now that this chair style is becoming more and more popular, I thought I’d share a few buying options to help you on your hunt! BEST The beloved CR Laine Spool Chair and Spindle Chair weren’t in our budget so I went looking for an alternative with a fabric and wood finish I could live with! I finally found a pair I loved from Birch Lane and after sitting on the fabric samples for months I went with the classic ticking stripe! They’ll always work with our decor somewhere in our home! We rarely steer too far from traditional blue and white! So I knew when we built our last house that I needed a pair!

I’ve always loved this classic style of chair and then when I went to work for Lola Interiors we used these chairs in many of our projects as a living room staple.

So many questions about our living room spindle chairs over the past few years.
