Irma Swivel Chair – Modern Accent Seating by Acme Furniture
Our Irma Swivel Chair redefines versatile seating for the modern living room. This statement piece features a 360-degree swivel base that lets you turn effortlessly toward conversation, the TV, or the window — all while staying comfortably seated.
We upholstered the Irma in a soft, durable performance fabric that resists everyday wear and spills, making it ideal for families and pet owners. The generously padded seat and curved backrest cradle you in comfort whether you’re reading, working, or relaxing. Clean lines and a compact footprint mean the Irma fits beautifully in corners, next to sofas, or as a standalone accent in bedrooms and home offices.
The powder-coated steel swivel mechanism operates silently and smoothly, tested for over 20,000 rotations to ensure long-lasting performance. We’ve designed the Irma to be both a functional everyday chair and a sculptural focal point that elevates your décor.

Fabric & Construction Details
We chose a premium performance polyester blend for the Irma Swivel Chair because it balances comfort with real-world durability. The tight-weave fabric resists pilling and fading, while its built-in stain protection guards against spills — simply blot liquids with a damp cloth within the first few minutes.
Inside, high-density foam cushioning maintains its shape and support even after years of daily use. We reinforce every seam with double stitching and use corner blocks in the seat frame to prevent wobbling. The steel swivel mechanism sits flush within the base, tested to withstand more than 20,000 full rotations without squeaking or loosening.
Sizing & Fit Guide
The Irma Swivel Chair measures 28 inches wide, 30 inches deep, and 32 inches tall, with an 18-inch seat height that suits most adults comfortably. We recommend allowing at least 6 inches of clearance around the chair so the swivel motion never bumps into nearby furniture.
This compact footprint makes the Irma ideal for apartments, condos, and smaller living rooms where space is at a premium. It pairs beautifully next to our sofas and loveseats, tucked into reading nooks, or positioned as a desk chair in a home office.
Care & Maintenance
Keeping your Irma Swivel Chair looking fresh is simple. Vacuum the upholstery weekly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and pet hair. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth — avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain.
Every few months, check the swivel base bolts and tighten if needed using the included hex key. Wipe down the steel base with a microfiber cloth to maintain its matte finish. We do not recommend using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbers on the fabric.

Common Questions About the Irma Swivel Chair
The Irma arrives with the seat and backrest already assembled. You’ll only need to attach the steel swivel base to the seat frame using the included bolts and hex key. Most customers complete assembly in about 20 minutes with no additional tools required.
Detailed step-by-step instructions are included in the box, and our customer care team is available if you have any questions during setup.
We currently offer the Irma in three versatile colors: Charcoal Gray, Cream, and Navy Blue. All three options feature the same matte black powder-coated steel base.
Each color is designed to complement a range of interior styles, from modern and mid-century to coastal and traditional. You can view detailed photos of each finish in our product gallery above.
The Irma Swivel Chair has a weight capacity of 250 pounds and an 18-inch seat height, which comfortably accommodates most adults. The curved backrest provides lumbar support up to approximately 32 inches from the floor.
If you’re taller than six feet or prefer a higher back, we recommend exploring our <a href=”/living-room-furniture/accent-chairs/”>Quinn or Sienna swivel chairs</a>, which offer extended backrests and wider seats.
The Irma features a silent steel bearing swivel mechanism tested for over 20,000 rotations. The swivel operates smoothly and quietly right out of the box, and our quality testing ensures it remains silent with regular use.
We recommend checking and tightening the base bolts every few months to maintain optimal performance. If you ever notice any noise, a quick tightening with the included hex key usually resolves it.
For fresh spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth — avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain. The performance fabric on the Irma resists most liquids when treated quickly.
For dried or tougher stains, use a mild upholstery cleaner and spot-test on an inconspicuous area first. We recommend vacuuming the fabric weekly with a soft brush attachment to keep it looking fresh between deeper cleanings.
Each Irma Swivel Chair includes four protective floor glides that snap onto the steel base feet. These glides prevent scratching on hardwood, tile, and laminate floors while also reducing noise when you swivel.
The glides are pre-installed on most units, but if you need to add or replace them, extras are available through our <a href=”/replacement-parts/”>replacement parts page</a>.
We offer a 30-day return window on all Acme Furniture purchases. If the Irma Swivel Chair isn’t the right fit for your space, you can return it for a full refund as long as it’s in original condition with all hardware and packaging.
Simply contact our customer care team to initiate a return, and we’ll provide a prepaid shipping label. Visit our <a href=”/returns-exchanges/”>returns and exchanges page</a> for complete details and eligibility requirements.
