The Viral Costco Reading Chair That Offers Comfort And Storage

Costco seems to have everything a homeowner could possibly need. Whether you're on the hunt for affordable dinnerware and kitchenware or shopping for bulk inexpensive food items your household always plows right through, the Costco warehouse is always filled to the brim with opportunity. And, this newest viral product is further proof that the supermarket has the answer to every home issue; Costco's Thomasville Dillard accent chair with storage ottoman is an affordable, cozy piece of furniture that will add storage and style to any room.  

The accent chair has over 600 five-star reviews on Costco's site, with users lauding its comfort, affordability, and storage. "This chair makes my living room look cozy and very classy," one Costco buyer wrote, adding that it's "very comfortable, and the extra storage space is a plus." Another reviewer chimed in: "I love that it has springs and not just foam. It's nice to curl up in and watch TV or read." Some shoppers warned that the chair is heavier than they expected, but Costco will typically assist shoppers with delivery and setup: "They delivered and set up free which was helpful to me as I'm a senior," one reviewer wrote. It retails for $599.99 but is part of the Costco Direct program, which you can use to your advantage and save money on this purchase if you bundle it with other items. 

One of the few gripes that Costco buyers had about this chair was its lack of color options. The light grey coloring can feel limiting, and it's also hard to fully get an idea of the color with just online photos. One reviewer described it as "a mix of grey and white, more on the warm side but not super warm toned." Another shopper called the chair "a very light grey that ... can match any style." With this input, it's safe to assume that the chair will fit in well with any gray tones, and will especially complement gray floors. Try painting a matching accent wall, then get bookshelves to complete your reading nook, and fill them up with colorful books behind the chair. This is how Instagram creator That's My Bookshelf styled the piece in her home. 

However, if your space is more about earth tones, you can treat this chair as you would any white piece of furniture. Consider swapping the three gray pillows for your own colorful throw pillows that match other components of your living room, or placing a vibrant throw blanket on the arm to give it a pop of color. If the chair seems to be taking up too much space in your living room, you can move the ottoman to another place in your house, as it easily doubles as a storage bench that would be perfect in kids' playrooms or at the foot of a bed.
