Description
The Ash Armchair in light grey measures 72.5 cm across the arms by 68.5 cm deep, a wide seat you can settle sideways into. Linen fabric covers foam cushioning over a pocket spring seat unit, and wood legs carry the 73 cm frame. At 10.5 kg it moves easily, and the pale tone lifts a bedroom that gets little sun.
A 72.5 cm span with a 73 cm back
72.5 × 68.5 × 73 cm (W × D × H)
Light grey does not disguise scale — this is a broad chair at 72.5 cm across the arms and 68.5 cm from front to back. Budget around 80 cm of wall so the arms sit free, and leave 40 cm in front for feet. The 73 cm height is measured to the top of the backrest, low enough that the chair will not cut a window in half. Assembled it weighs 10.5 kg.
A wide seat on a pocket spring base
Weight sits on a pocket spring unit with foam cushioning over the top, so the seat is not one block of foam. The 68.5 cm depth gives you room to push back into the chair with your shoulders against the padded backrest instead of leaning forward. Arms are padded and covered in the same light grey linen as the body, and wood legs raise the frame off the floor.
Light grey linen over foam and springs
The cover is linen fabric in light grey, with high-density foam cushioning and a pocket spring seat beneath it. Legs are wood. Pale upholstery shows marks sooner than a dark one, so vacuum the weave regularly with the upholstery tool and blot spills straight away rather than letting them dry into the fibres.

Assembly & delivery
Delivery is a single carton, 70 × 75 × 56 cm and 12.5 kg, with assembly required — the wood legs fit to a body that arrives already upholstered. Lay the chair on the flattened carton rather than a bare floor while you fit them, which keeps the light grey linen off household dust. Most orders ship the next business day.
Right for a main bedroom short on light
A main bedroom with one window is where light grey does real work: the 72.5 cm frame is broad enough to be the room's seat rather than an ornament, and the pale linen bounces what light there is. The trade-off is upkeep, because light grey shows marks a dark cover would hide. Keep it away from the door line where bags get dropped.
How much clear wall does the light grey Ash armchair need at 72.5 cm wide?
Allow about 80 cm of clear wall for the light grey Ash. The chair is 72.5 cm across the arms, and the few extra centimetres stop them rubbing against a wardrobe door or skirting. Depth is 68.5 cm, so a chair set against a wall still projects most of a metre into the room once you allow space for feet.
Does light grey linen on the Ash armchair mark more easily than the dark grey version?
Pale upholstery shows marks sooner than a dark cover, and the light grey Ash is no exception — shoe scuffs along the base, hand marks on the arms and dust in the weave all read more clearly than they would on the dark grey. The build underneath is identical. Vacuum the linen weekly with the upholstery tool and blot spills immediately rather than rubbing.
Is the 68.5 cm depth of the light grey Ash linen armchair enough for a reading corner?
Reading corners need depth, and the light grey Ash gives 68.5 cm front to back, enough to sit with your shoulders against the padded backrest rather than perched on the front edge. The backrest tops out at 73 cm, so a cushion behind the neck helps if you like to tilt your head back. Pair it with a side table at arm height.
What is under the light grey linen on the Ash armchair — foam, springs, or both?
Both, in layers: a pocket spring unit forms the seat base on the light grey Ash, with high-density foam cushioning above it and linen fabric over the top. The springs take the load across the seat while the foam sets the surface feel, and the legs are wood. That layered build is part of why the assembled chair weighs 10.5 kg.
Will the light grey Ash armchair suit a main bedroom with limited natural light?
Main bedrooms with one small window benefit from a pale seat, and light grey linen reflects rather than absorbs what light there is. At 72.5 cm wide the Ash is a substantial piece, so place it where it catches the window rather than in the darkest corner. The 73 cm back height keeps it from blocking the glass if you sit it under the sill.
How is the light grey Ash armchair packed, and what is left to assemble from the 12.5 kg carton?
One carton, 70 × 75 × 56 cm and 12.5 kg, holds the light grey Ash armchair. The body arrives fully upholstered — what remains is fitting the wood legs and tightening the fixings, which takes minutes with the chair turned over. Keep the packaging underneath while you work so the light grey linen does not pick up floor dust.
