Cons

• Faux Leather Durability: A major recurring concern. The faux leather is commonly reported to crack, peel, flake, or otherwise degrade significantly after 2-3 years of use, necessitating replacement. The poor quality of the faux leather and the lack of readily available replacement covers are frequently mentioned points of frustration. Some users needed to replace their chairs every 2-3 years. The faux leather is also reported to scratch easily. (This is not explicitly mentioned in the new batch, but is retained from previous batches due to its significance).
• Frame Durability: Reports of the metal frame breaking or welds failing, particularly in the backrest. This affected multiple chairs for some users. Poor welding quality was specifically cited as the cause of failure in at least one instance. One review mentions that 5-6 out of 16 chairs had broken welds. Complete frame failure after six months is reported. (This is not explicitly mentioned in the new batch, but is retained from previous batches due to its significance).
• Uneven Legs: At least one reviewer reported receiving chairs with uneven legs, suggesting potential inconsistencies in manufacturing or assembly. (This is not explicitly mentioned in the new batch, but is retained from previous batches due to its significance).
• Plastic Feet: The plastic feet are reported to be noisy when moving the chairs. Inconsistencies in the type of plastic feet are noted. The plastic protectors on the feet are reported to be brittle and break easily, scratching floors. This is a frequently reported issue. (This is not explicitly mentioned in the new batch, but is retained from previous batches due to its significance).
• Cushioning Firmness: At least one review mentions the seat as being relatively hard, with the backrest not providing much give. Another review mentions the foam losing elasticity after a short period of use, forming waves. Some reviewers mention the seat as being a bit shallow due to a central ridge. (This is not explicitly mentioned in the new batch, but is retained from previous batches due to its significance).

Comments

The Havndal chair''s main issues remain the durability of its faux leather covering and the structural integrity of its frame. While comfort, design, and price are frequently praised, the short lifespan of the material and potential frame failure significantly detract from the long-term value. The lack of readily available replacement covers continues to be a source of customer frustration. Some reviewers purchased replacement chairs even though the original frames may have still been functional. There is some variation in the firmness of the cushioning reported across different chairs. The absence of care instructions is noted as a minor shortcoming. Reviewers have noted the need for felt pads to protect floors from scratching. Some reviewers have found workarounds for damaged parts, such as replacing the plastic feet or having a woodworker craft replacement parts. The chairs are available in multiple colors. A previous owner of the chair reported that a similar chair lasted 6 years before the metal frame broke. At least one reviewer received a chair with missing screws. The popularity of the chair is noted, with some reviewers reporting difficulty in obtaining them.
