A fine, untouched (except me giving it a light wax polish) example of the famous Sussex armchair, as made famous by the likes of William Morris, Liberty's, Heals, the Arts and Crafts movement, Aesthetic movement, etc.

The design of the 'Sussex' armchair is attributed to Philip Speakman Webb (born 1831 - died 1915) and went into production at Morris and Co. from 1865.

It's a traditional Sussex stick-construction chair made from turned and steam-bent beech wood, with original rush seating.

This example has a wonderful worn patina and some fine details. For example, the flared ends and extra detailed turning to the arms, the bobbin-like spindles in the backrest, the neat, turned button finials that top the back legs. And notice the classic Sussex design where the bottom of the arm supports pierce the stretcher underneath.

Here are a couple of links worth looking at for more information on Sussex chairs:


 

No splits, no old or current woodworm, no wobbles, some individual lengths of the rush have broken and come away - see photo (but still very useable, especially with a nice cushion).

DIMENSIONS:
Height to top of back: 91.5cm
Height to seat: 43cm
Seat width at widest point: 48cm
Seat front to back: 45cm

Pretty cheap but surprisingly solid
Color: Black
This thing comfortably fits my 16” MacBook Pro. It does tilt a bit probably due to me screwing it to the underside of my wooden desk which probably isn’t the exact use for it, but it holds really strong and isn’t going anywhere. Combining this with a small USB-C hub for some USB As and and extra HDMI and a little bit of Velcro, this holder makes for a pretty solid option to hide you laptop away if you a surprisingly clean desktop-like experience, even if you’re on a budget and can’t afford a desktop. A proper thunderbolt docking station would go a long way with this as well.

Works as advertised
Color: Black
Functions as described. Looks good. Laptop fits in loosely. I’d prefer a more snug fit. Other than that, works as advertised.
