There cannot be a single person who hasn’t heard of Tesco. But if you thought their stores held a huge range of goods to buy, wait until you see their website!
The Tesco Direct range is huge, and nowadays it even includes leather armchairs. So shall we see what they have to tempt you with?
How can I find their website?
The Tesco Direct website is viewable at direct.tesco.com.
How do I reach the section containing leather armchairs?
First of all you will need to look at the menu bar and find the option for ‘furniture and kitchen’. Under that heading you should see a drop down menu appear, and one of the choices it will have on it is sofas and armchairs.
You should then select ‘sofas and armchairs – leather’ from the left hand column on the next page. You can then refine it further on the following page so that it shows you armchairs only; just look for the link at the top of the left hand column. This will bring up all their leather armchairs, although reclining models are in another section.
The page you will need for the regular range is http://direct.tesco.com/q/N.1998913/Nr.99.aspx. In contrast, the reclining leather armchair range is at http://direct.tesco.com/q/N.1998589/Nr.99.aspx, although this includes sofas as well. You’ll have to scroll through to find the armchairs.
Do they sell a good range of leather armchairs?
Yes, the range is actually really impressive. There are a huge number of different ranges and looks available, including boxy styles and softer ones with more curves as well.
You’ll find tub style chairs as well as larger ones, and plenty more besides.
Does the site contain a lot of information?
Yes it does, as you would probably expect from Tesco. The price is clearly stated on the results page, along with a nice small picture of the armchair, and the relevant furniture insurance option if you want to know about this.
When you click on the ‘more info’ link you will be taken through to the product page, which is where you can find out more. The information on this page is in a tabbed format, so you can easily see what to read first.
It starts with a basic description of the armchair, and tells you what materials were used in the making of it. Click along to the next tab and you can read about the various aspects of the item in a chart format. There is only very basic information about delivery, but if you go back up the page slightly you can read about independent reviews of that item if there are any.
Clicking on that link opens up a new window, where that armchair is reviewed on four separate points. A ‘marks out of ten’ system is used, so you can see how good the chair is.
You can also order a colour swatch before you buy the actual chair if you wish; if you click through that option you just have to fill in your details including your address on the next page. They will then send you the swatch for that particular armchair.
You’ll spot a link on the left hand side of the page which takes you into a buying guide for leather upholstered products as well, which is very useful. And elsewhere you have all the regular pages about delivery information and terms and conditions of using the site. They have a great help section as well which you might need at some point. You’ll find these at the foot of the page.
Is it easy to order your leather armchair online?
Yes, all you have to do is click on the ‘add to basket’ button to perform that task. Interestingly you don’t seem to be able to change the quantity on the product page itself; you will have to do that once you get into your basket if you want more than one armchair.
Even then you need to view your basket rather than being able to do it on the next page, which confirms what you have added to it. You should see plus and minus buttons to enable you to adjust the totals.
In conclusion
Tesco is such a huge name that you would expect it to have a good range of leather armchairs, and indeed it does. No matter what you want to get for your home or which room or setting it is for, you should find something ideal on this website.
