    I also ordered the Rimini online on Monday and received the Venice yesterday - well pleased with it and the fact that I actually received a more expensive chair (by over £100) makes it even better!

    One word of warning - this is quite a substantial chair, so if you wish to site it upstairs, I suggest you build it in the room you want it and not downstairs like me! (My aching back is testimony to this fact).

    Thanks to the OP for this.
    Despite Viking listing this at £164.49(see product code H23-977204), take a look at product code Y23-977204.

    Yes, it is still more expensive than the originally ordered RIMINI chair, but only by about £20.

    I'm getting a bit peed off with Viking - the price you pay seems to depend on whether you carefully search their site. I would not be happy if I wanted a VENICE chair and had paid £164.49, when the same site sells the same product at just £58.74 :mad:

    Sadly yes, this is another example of multiple pricing on their site :(

    The RIMINI chair is offered on the viking site in various places. If you bought it via the business site under code SR1-977202,or Y22-977202 it is £39.99 + VAT. (i.e. £46.99)

    Order it under code B22-977202, and its £38.76 including VAT.
    Order it under code G21-977202, and its a whopping £117.49! :mad:

    Oooh I see what you mean. Am actually VERY happy with my Venice chair. In fact have given in and ordered a couple more for the kids rooms. I agree though, I wouldn't feel very comfortable buying from them again unless clearly at rock bottom price. Is it legal to advertise 2 different prices like that - surely the intention is to mislead?

    Got mine at the lower rate, nice chair, but on closer inspection some minor scuf marks and small deep scraches.
    Maybe this is why they are listed twice. the cheaper ones with marks/ or returns ?

    does the chair seem strong enough to take a large (ahem) heavy man :-)
    Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D

    Oops, hit the thanks button instead of quote!

    One of our friends weighs in the region of 17 stone and says our new chair is very comfy! I can comfortably sit "cross legged" and with a sleeping labrador sprawled on my lap whilst I type. :D
    I have the mind of a criminal genius. I keep it in the freezer next to Mother....

    I bought my gf the Malaga chair last time it was on offer and it comfotably takes my 18 stone of idiot (although I would like more padding on the chair).

    I rarely get near it though because that is her domain, so most of the time the chair has only got to cope with her 8 stone and a guinea pig.

    Staples are also doing a £39.99 leather chair, both instore and online here. UK Delivery is free for orders over £30 and there is a box for a free gift too - anyone got any good gift codes?

    Oh, and be careful - the same chair is listed twice on the Staples website, one at £59.99 and the other at £39.99!
