Armchair

Hi, I really like the ikea ekensaset armchair, and will buy it if no alternative but would like to get something similar for cheaper (or Dh will just false economy something cheap from wayfair then complain about his back).
These two look similar(ish) but I’m wondering how much drop in quality/comfort there is. Also needs to be fairly compact due to the space it’ll go in.

(not bothered about the hideous colour, none of our furniture matches anyway and prefer to have £100 in the bank)

Does anyone have any experience of these, or can recommend alternatives?

I have a different one from habitat and was pleasantly surprised for the price, it's very stylish and comfortable! I prefer fabric arms personally though so can't comment specifically on your options

Thanks, I’d also prefer fabric arms, I’ve seen a lovely wingback one from habitat but it just woundnt fit the space.

We have the Elio velvet chair and it's surprisingly comfortable given the strange design 😅
