Ercol doesn’t just make armchairs – it makes a lot of other items of furniture for the home as well.
You might think that means they don’t spend so much time creating leather armchairs of all kinds, but as you will see they are well worth adding to your shortlist of brands if you want to buy a leather armchair for your home. They haven’t got the biggest range you will find in leather, but what they do have is worth having a look at.
What types of leather armchair do they make?
They seem to have just the one range that is available covered in leather. This may change in the future though so keep an eye on their website and on other websites that sell the Ercol ranges.
The designs they use within this range are more basic than some you will see, but they are made exceptionally well nonetheless. They are most famous for their reclining chair in this range, which still keeps a nice leather look while giving you a whole range of comfortable features to enjoy. This leather armchair has even won awards, so you know it is exceptionally good!
Why should you choose a leather armchair made by them?
Since they don’t have a large range of leather armchairs to offer, you should only really choose one from them if you are looking for something very specific that they do. Their styles are basic and that is just what some people want. They are neither classic nor retro nor really modern in style, so if you want something quite plain then Ercol can provide it.
Not all brands can offer reclining armchairs either, so if you have always wanted one of these in leather you should certainly opt for Ercol.
What price ranges do they fall into?
You can expect to pay a four figure sum for an Ercol leather recliner. Although judging by some of the reviews there are on this product, once you sit down in it you won’t want to get up again!
This is ideal if you have the money to spend and you want to get something that will be a special kind of leather armchair, not just something that sits in the corner of the room and doesn’t get used a lot. It is clear that the reclining armchair is purposefully built to provide comfort and a restful space for those who use it.
What kind of information can you find on their website?
If you click on the ‘furniture by range’ option you can then scroll down the next page and find links to both the main Gina range (which includes the basic leather armchair) and another link to the recliner.
You’ll see too that when you click through to any product page it will show you the measurements of that chair. The leather recliner actually comes in two sizes, enabling you to get something that really feels comfortable.
Their online fabric guide has a page at the back which shows you all the choices of leather that you have if you buy from the Gina range when you are looking for your leather armchair. They have some nice warm colours and it is good to see which ones are available before you decide to buy. You can also call them and ask for a swatch to see how the leather looks and feels; they will just pop one in the post for you.
On each product page you will also find a clickable link which offers help for finding a stockist of Ercol leather armchairs near you. You cannot buy directly from their site, but they do provide you with everything you need to make a decision before you actually go and find one of their suppliers.
In conclusion
Ercol is not known for having a huge selection of leather armchairs to choose from. But as you can see, if you are looking for the very specific range that they do provide, then it is worth taking a look at their site.
In the future they may make other ranges available with a choice of leather finishes as well, but for now you are restricted to Gina. This is no bad thing though, because with a leather reclining armchair on offer you may not want to consider buying anything else at all!
So if you are thinking about adding a new leather armchair to your home, give Ercol a try.
