Tan Armchairs

What is in this collection

Nine tan single chairs, from nine different ranges: Dalmore, Valencia, Valerie, Oakland, Cidliano, Dandrea, Annecy, Rivello and Renato. Four are electric recliners, one is manual and four are fixed. Eight are in stock and one is pre-order. Narrow by mechanism or material first. For every single chair we stock, see our armchairs collection.

Three materials, not one

Worth being precise, because the difference is easy to miss in a thumbnail. Genuine Leather is stated on four titles: the Dalmore, Dandrea, Annecy and Rivello. Leather without a grade covers the Valencia, Valerie and Cidliano. The Oakland is suede. And the Renato names no material at all, so we leave it neutral. We would not call this collection leather armchairs, because five of nine would not support it. For confirmed hide, see our genuine leather sofas collection.

Suede is not leather and it is not fabric

The Oakland deserves its own paragraph rather than being folded into a leather comparison. Suede has a napped surface, which gives it a softer, matt look, and it behaves differently from both smooth leather and a woven fabric. It does not wipe clean: marks are dealt with dry, using a dedicated suede brush, and it does not like damp. Check the care label before using anything on it. For woven upholstery, see our fabric sofas collection.

Four recline, and all four are electric

The Cidliano, Dandrea, Annecy and Renato are electric, worked by a button, so each needs a mains socket within reach. The Valencia is the only manual recliner, worked by a side lever, so it can go anywhere in the room. The Dalmore, Valerie, Oakland and Rivello are fixed. Reclining here is comfort, not a health or posture claim. For powered seating across the store, see our recliner armchairs collection.

Choosing between electric, manual and fixed

An electric chair stops wherever you release the button, which suits daily use, but it needs a socket. A manual one costs less, needs no power and settles at set positions. A fixed chair has no mechanism: nothing to maintain, no clearance to plan for, and usually the shallowest footprint. None is better; they suit different rooms. Our sofa buying guide covers the choice.

One of these is a pre-order

The Rivello is not in stock now. It carries a stated lead time of fifteen days, longer than our usual delivery window, and it is worth knowing before you set your heart on it. The availability filter currently counts it among the in-stock items, which it should not: pre-order is a third state, not a synonym for available. For end-of-line pieces, see our outlet collection.

Measuring for an armchair

Measure the width of the spot with a little room either side, the depth the chair projects into the room, and the height if it sits in an alcove. For any of the five that recline, add the reclined depth and clearance behind, and remember a chair that fits closed can be unusable open. Our sofa measuring guide sets out the method.

Where a tan chair works in a room

A single chair does a job a sofa cannot: it fills a corner, sits beside a fireplace, marks out a reading spot next to a lamp, or defines a seating area in an open-plan room without blocking it. A fixed chair suits occasional seating; a recliner suits somewhere you will sit every evening. For matching seating, see our tan sofas collection.

Tan as a colour, honestly

A warm mid-tone sitting between black and cream, which makes it easier to place than either. It suits oak and walnut, charcoal and beige. Two honest caveats. Shades vary between ranges, from golden to a deeper brown, so compare the photographs rather than assuming nine chairs match. And tan is not inherently more practical: any leather scratches, fades or dries near a radiator. To compare a cooler neutral, see our grey sofas collection.

Care, by material

Leather and genuine leather want a gentle wipe with a soft cloth, prompt attention to spills, and no harsh sprays or bleach. Suede wants a dedicated brush and dry treatment. All three want keeping out of direct sunlight and away from radiators. We will not give a fixed conditioning schedule without a product-specific source. Full guidance is in our care guide.

Delivery

Delivery is free across England and Wales and usually takes 7–10 working days for items in stock; the pre-order item follows its own lead time. Our two-person team carries the chair into your chosen ground-floor room. If you have seen a faster premium service mentioned elsewhere on this page, ring us rather than assuming it applies. Full timescales are on our delivery information page.

Finance, returns and your rights

You can spread the cost with one of our named providers: PayPal Pay in 3, Klarna Pay in 3 or Pay in 30, Clearpay and DivideBuy. Each is interest-free and subject to credit check, with terms set by the provider at checkout. Furniture Instore is a credit broker, not a lender. Our 14-day change of mind returns cover unused items in original condition, and your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 sit alongside them. Our finance options page explains each provider.

Why buy your tan armchair from Furniture Instore

Nine chairs across nine ranges, three materials, three mechanisms and a spread of prices, with eight available today. What we add is precision about what each one is: genuine leather on the four titles that confirm it, leather on three, suede named as suede, and one title we will not describe until it is fixed. We tell you the Rivello is a pre-order rather than letting the filter imply otherwise, and there is no warranty advertised on this collection. Come and sit in them at our Coventry showroom.
