This guide explains how to avoid colour surprises when ordering Ofcasa chairs from an online only brand with no showroom. It compares four fabrics across Solis, Jarvis, Neve and Aoife Sleek, each sold as a set of 2, and sets out a swatch first routine. Readers learn how to judge shades before committing.
Key Takeaways
- Test swatches in daylight, evening light, and against your floor, walls and table.
- Returns must be raised within 30 days, with chairs unassembled and in original packaging.
- Fabric varies by range: PU leather, faux leather, boucle and linen texture across four chairs.
- Discounts run from £8 off over £99 to £69 off over £599, with no stacking.
Why Colour Is Harder to Judge With an Online Only Brand
Ofcasa sells only online. There is no showroom where you can see a fabric under your own lights, and the brand does not offer customization, so you choose from what is listed.
Chairs come in sets of 2, which raises the stakes. A table for four or six means ordering two or three sets, and delivery within the UK is free, so there is no delivery cost to make you pause before you have judged the shade.
Ofcasa holds a 4.4 out of 5 rating on Trustpilot from 816 reviews, based on a snapshot taken in late August 2026. A rating like that reflects the overall shopping experience. It cannot tell you how one shade will sit beside your floor and walls. That judgement is yours to make.
Step 1: Know the Fabric Before You Pick the Shade
The same colour can look quite different depending on the surface it sits on. Ofcasa chairs are built from fabric and metal, and the fabric changes from one range to the next, so it helps to know which one you are looking at before you compare shades.
Four fabrics appear across the Ofcasa chairs in this guide:
- PU leather (Solis): Look at how much sheen it has, because a shiny surface can make a shade look lighter under bright light.
- Faux leather (Jarvis): Check the finish too, as a smooth surface reflects the room around it.
- Boucle (Neve): The looped texture breaks up the colour, so judge it by touch and from a few steps back.
- Linen texture (Aoife Sleek): Woven surfaces tend to look softer than flat ones, so look closely at the weave.
Pick the fabric first, then the shade.
Step 2: Order a Swatch First
Ofcasa sells fabric swatches as their own product, listed in the site menu alongside the chair, table and bed categories. For an online only brand with no showroom, that is the closest you get to handling the fabric before you commit to a set of 2 chairs.
Before you order, open the swatch product page and check three things: the price, which fabrics and colours the swatch covers, and how long it takes to arrive. These details can change, so read them on the page itself.
Once the swatch is in your hands, test it properly at home:
- Daylight: Hold it near a window in the morning and again in the afternoon, since natural light shifts through the day.
- Evening light: Check it under the bulbs you actually use at the dining table.
- Against your floor: Lay it on the flooring where the chairs will stand.
- Against your walls and table: Place it next to the wall colour and the table surface, then step back and look from a distance.
If the shade still looks right in all four settings, you can order with far more confidence.
Step 3: Check on Arrival, Before You Assemble
This is the step that matters most with Ofcasa, because the return policy rests on one condition: the chairs must be unassembled. The policy itself asks you not to assemble if you are unhappy with your purchase, so the colour check has to happen before you pick up a screwdriver.
Returns have to be raised within 30 days of receiving the item, and the chair must be unassembled and in its original packaging. If the return is your own call, such as a shade that is not what you pictured, you pay the return freight. If the fault is Ofcasa’s, that cost is not yours. Sale and promotional items are not returnable, so if the chair you want is at a listed sale price, check the product page to see whether it counts as a sale item before you order.
Chairs that have already been assembled fall under separate conditions. Read the current return policy on the site before you start building, so you know where you stand.
When the boxes arrive, a short routine keeps your options open:
- Open one box and take the chair out.
- Check the colour in daylight, next to your swatch if you ordered one.
- Keep all the packaging, including the outer box.
- Leave everything unassembled until you are sure about the shade.
Thirty days is enough time to check, provided the chairs stay in their boxes until you have.
Four Ofcasa Chairs, Four Fabrics
Each fabric from Step 1 appears in a real Ofcasa chair: Solis in PU leather, Jarvis in faux leather, Neve in boucle and Aoife Sleek in linen texture. All four are sold as sets of 2. The prices below are the listed prices at the time of writing and can change, so confirm the current price and colour options on each product page before you order.
Solis Dining Chairs
Solis is a set of two armchair style dining chairs in a grey and brown two tone PU leather, and it appears in the bestseller list on Ofcasa’s homepage. It suits UK dining tables where you want armrests and a leather look finish. Because the colouring is two tone, it is a chair worth checking in daylight when the boxes arrive, before you assemble.
- Set of 2 chairs with armrests and a padded seat and backrest
- PU leather upholstery (100% polyurethane) over a metal frame with powder coated legs
- Two tone grey and brown design with stitching on the backrest, listed in Grey and Brown
- Assembly required, with a tool kit and instructions included in the package
- Free UK delivery, excluding remote areas
Listed at £103.99 for the set of 2, tax included, against a regular price of £159.99. Ofcasa’s store wide spend discounts start at £8 off orders over £99 on its sale page, and prices can change, so confirm both at checkout.
Jarvis Dining Chairs
Jarvis is a set of two upholstered dining chairs in a faux leather finish, and it is listed among the bestsellers on Ofcasa’s homepage. It suits UK buyers who want a leather look chair at a budget price and are happy to put it together themselves. It comes in six colours, so it is a good one to check against a swatch before you pick a shade.
- Set of 2 chairs, with faux leather upholstery (100% polyurethane)
- Metal frame with crossed metal legs and a powder coated finish
- Thick foam filling in the seat and backrest
- Six colours: Dark Grey, Beige, Blue, Brown, Sand and Rock
- Assembly required, with an installation tool kit and instructions in the package
Listed at £93.99 for the set of 2, tax included, against a regular price of £139.99. Delivery is free in the UK, excluding remote areas. Ofcasa’s spend based discounts start at £8 off orders over £99, and prices can change, so confirm both at checkout.
Neve Dining Chairs
Neve is a set of two dining chairs upholstered in boucle, the textured, looped fabric. It is the soft texture option among the Ofcasa chairs in this guide, and it suits UK buyers who want a cosier look than a smooth leather look finish. It comes in only two colours, White and Beige, so a swatch is worth ordering before you choose between them.
- Set of 2 chairs with boucle fabric upholstery
- Two colours: White and Beige
- Assembly required, so allow time to put them together
- Free UK delivery, excluding remote areas
- Returns are accepted within 30 days if the chairs are unassembled and in their original packaging
Listed at £99.99 for the set of 2, tax included, against a regular price of £179.99. That makes it the largest listed saving of the four chairs in this guide. Ofcasa’s spend based discounts start at £8 off orders over £99, and prices can change, so confirm both at checkout.
Aoife Sleek Dining Chairs
Aoife Sleek is a set of two upholstered dining chairs with a curved back, square stitching and a padded seat. It is the lowest priced chair in this guide, so it suits UK buyers furnishing a dining area on a tight budget. The fabric is a linen look weave rather than real linen, and it comes in five colours, so check the shade with a swatch before you order.
- Set of 2 chairs in a linen texture fabric (100% polyester)
- Curved back, square stitching and a padded seat over a foam and plywood build
- Metal frame with powder coated legs and non slip feet
- Five colours: Dark Grey, Green, Terracotta, Mustard and Beige
- Assembly required, with an installation tool kit and instructions in the package
Listed at £89.99 for the set of 2, tax included, against a regular price of £109.99. Delivery is free in the UK, excluding remote areas. Ofcasa’s spend based discounts start at £8 off orders over £99, so a second set would take you past that threshold. Prices can change, so confirm both at checkout.
Ordering More Than Two Chairs
Ofcasa sells chairs in sets of 2, so four chairs means two sets and six means three. Order them in one basket and in one colour, so every chair is checked against your swatch at the same time.
Free UK delivery applies, and Ofcasa states 4 to 5 days. Its policy pages contain conflicting timing lines, so treat that as a guide and not a promise.
A bigger order can also reach Ofcasa’s spend based discounts: £8 off over £99, £19 off over £199, £33 off over £299, £45 off over £399 and £69 off over £599. These were active on 15 Oct 2026, with no expiry date shown. Two sets of Solis at the listed £103.99 each come to £207.98, which is above the £199 tier. Discount codes cannot be stacked, so only one offer applies per order.
Quick Checklist
- Order a swatch first, since Ofcasa sells swatches as their own product and has no showroom.
- Compare the swatch in daylight and in evening light at your dining table.
- Note the fabric type: PU leather (Solis), faux leather (Jarvis), boucle (Neve) or linen texture (Aoife Sleek).
- Note the 30 day return window, which starts on delivery.
- Do not assemble the chairs until you have checked the colour, because returns must be unassembled.
- Keep all the original packaging until you are sure, as returns need it.
Summary
This guide covered four Ofcasa chairs sold as sets of 2: Solis in PU leather, Jarvis in faux leather, Neve in boucle and Aoife Sleek in a linen texture fabric. Listed prices on 15 Oct 2026 were £103.99, £93.99, £99.99 and £89.99 per set. Free UK delivery applies, excluding remote areas.
Aoife Sleek was the lowest priced set and comes in five colours. Neve had the largest listed saving, £80 off its regular price of £179.99, but comes in only White and Beige. Jarvis offers six colours, and Solis is a two tone grey and brown design with armrests. Ofcasa has no showroom and sells swatches, which is why colour is hard to judge online.
Two steps stand out for readers. Order a swatch first and compare it in daylight and in evening light. When the chairs arrive, check the colour before assembling them, because returns within the 30 day window must be unassembled and in the original packaging. Buyers of four or six chairs should also remember that Ofcasa’s spend based discounts run from £8 off over £99 and that codes cannot be stacked.
