To quote Goldilocks, these stylish seats are justtttt right.

When you think of living room furniture, your mind’s eye will inevitably picture a couch or a sectional. But no lounge is complete without its literal supporting player: the accent chair. Not only do these seats lend visual balance or symmetry to your room, but they are also opportunities to experiment with silhouettes, patterns, style, and scale. But buying gorgeous furniture online on a budget can be tricky, especially when you factor in pricey shipping and handling fees. Oh, and did we mention a little thing called lead times? Buying from a discount furniture manufacturer, meanwhile, can leave you with missing parts, cheap materials, and an assembly manual as long as your CVS receipt.

Allow us to let you in on a little secret: Amazon has a bumper crop of sophisticated accent chairs for a variety of styles and budgets. While it can be tricky to find furniture online that’s high quality and high design (don’t even get us started on knockoffs), we scoured the e-tailer’s offerings to bring you a selection that offers the rare combo of affordability and real materials (no PU leather here!). Turns out, there’s a little something for everyone, whether your style leans coastal grandmother, TikTok aesthete, or something in between. Below, our editor’s top picks for the best Amazon accent chairs out there to give your den, office, or bedroom an instant lift.

Timeless? Cool? Comfortable? This plush reading chair proves why you shouldn't mess with a classic when it comes to living room seating options. This cozy option features a solid wood frame and comes upholstered in hard-wearing performance linen, ensuring you'll get plenty of bang for your buck. And though you'll need to pay $99 for shipping, the $179 price tag (plus additional $20 coupon) makes this purchase a no-brainer.

An Amazon Reviewer Says: "Really impressed with these! They are actually really comfortable right away, no break in time required, were SUPER easy to put together, and feel sturdy. As someone who is taller (6'), I also appreciate the depth of the seat—I can actually sit and not have 2/3 of my legs hanging off the edge."

If you're a fan of midcentury silhouettes but are on a budget, consider this curved accent chair. It's low-slung profile makes it idea for lounging, reading, and gaming, and it's $106 price makes it one of the most affordable options on our list. Snag this chair in a two-pack and in a variety of colorways. (Note, you'll have to throw in an additional $30 for shipping for a single).

An Amazon Reviewer Says: "When I first ordered this I thought they wouldn’t be the best materials but it’s amazing quality, comfortable and even better price. Looks just like the picture."

In a sea of white and beige bouclé, this plump accent chair stands out—for its attractive moss-green hue and its value. We like its comfy profile, solid wood construction, and upholstery in easy-clean polyester material (hello pet parents). This sexy seat also perches on an attractive wood base and swivels 360-degrees—which handily corresponds with how much visitors' heads will spin when they see this baby. Oh, did we mention this comes with free Prime shipping?

An Amazon Reviewer Says: "I love how comfortable this chair is and the look of it is better than I expected. I was nervous because there weren’t any reviews on the green color but I’m glad I ordered it. Such a nice touch in the living room and the swivel aspect makes it easy to watch TV and be a part of the conversation with people on the couch. I was also nervous about the size because it seemed really small but my boyfriend is six feet tall and he can lean back perfectly. I definitely recommend!"

We can practically feel the sea breezes as we admire this coastal-chic chair. We love its spindle arms and legs, summery striped fabric, and timeless silhouette. We could have mistaken this pretty chair (currently priced under $400 with free shipping no less!) for one three-times as expensive.

An Amazon Reviewer Says: "I always wanted to have this chair. It is beautiful and comfy. It make me feel in summertime all year round."

Finding a handsome leather chair made from real leather and at a price that won't break the bank can be a challenge when online shopping. This top-rated chair from Poly & Bark, however, checks all our boxes, with its kiln-dried ash frame, comfortable foam fill, and attractive cognac leather. Snag this one in black or velvet too!

An Amazon Reviewer Says: "I cannot rate this chair highly enough. It is beautiful. The leather is stunning, and it's full leather on the back piece on both sides so it can be flipped if needed. The wood is gorgeous too. This feels like a $1200 chair to me."

There's nothing more effortless than the look of slipcovered furniture. There's nothing more practical, either. this gorgeous under-$200 chair features removable cushion covers so—in the event of a tragic wine accident—you can simply toss them in the wash. You'll have to throw in $30 for shipping, but can you put a price on style?

An Amazon Reviewer Says: "I was crossing my fingers the color looked cream/beige and it does! It was easy to put together (my boyfriend did it for me lol) and only took 30 minutes. What sold me was that it has a slip cover that you can remove to wash so you won’t be paranoid around the light color!"

An under-$100 chair that looks cute? We would have thought it an impossible task to find. But Amazon does it again with this simple sling accent chair. Reviewers are raving about its comfort and easy-assembly. Perfect for college dorms or first apartments.

An Amazon Reviewer Says: "Easy to put together, and they are SO comfortable. Extremely stylish as well. 10/10 quality."

Now here's an accent chair that refuses to be a supporting player (though it's quite comfy, according to reviewers). This very aesthetic chair features a pleasingly curved profile, all covered in a synthetic pink (!) wool. We see this as the statement piece in an otherwise neutral living room, bedroom, or office.

An Amazon Reviewer Says: "Just the chair I wanted to decorate my office on a budget without sacrificing style or comfort. It arrived in great shape, assembled easily, and is bigger than I expected. I’m very happy."

If you love the organic look of rattan, but aren't planning to move in with the Golden Girls anytime soon, consider this attractive barrel-back seat. Place one in the corner of your bedroom, or snap up a set of four for a coastal-inspired dining room.

An Amazon Reviewer Says: "This chair is well made and sturdy. The washed rattan is a nice feature. It’s comfortable for my medium frame. A large person may find it too small. I am very happy with my purchase."

Sometimes the only thing you need to ask yourself when searching for an armchair is, "Can I flop on this?" Enter, this ultra-comfy reading chair. Reviewers are raving about the plump cushions and deep seat—perfect for cozy evenings curled up with a book.

An Amazon Reviewer Says: "This chair is really great! The fabric is comfy, and the color looks nice, making the living room feel cozy. The cushions and backrest are very soft, making it super comfortable to sit on. The design is simple and versatile, fitting well with different home decors. Assembly was also easy. All in all, this chair is both good-looking and functional. I recommend it!"

In a sea of bouclé, this chenille chair stands out for its visually-pleasing texture and super-soft touch. The solid-wood frame features spring construction and supports up to 550 pounds while the fabric is easy-clean and (we're partial to the forest green colorway) very stylish. Plus, according to the manufacturer, it only takes 10 minutes to assemble, meaning you'll be relaxing in a snap.

An Amazon reviewer says: "Absolutely love this chair. Did research for months trying to find the best solution for our living room and this did not disappoint. Beautiful fabric, and super deep!"

"Wingback" chairs so often conjure images of frowsy, out-of-date sitting rooms. Not so with this vibrant accent chair! We love the maximalist chartreuse fabric and the floral motifs, which remind us of classic de Gournay wallcoverings.

An Amazon Reviewer Says: "Love the fabric, definitely love the birds, very easy to put together, exactly as described."
