If there’s anything a smart shopper knows, it’s that for every expensive item exists a similar one that matches the quality (or even surpasses it).
For those who are familiar with West Elm’s popular Cozy Swivel Chair, you know it’s viral for a reason—it's a beautiful piece, and you can get it in an abundance of fabrics and colors to match your home's aesthetic. However, the price comes in at anywhere from $699 to a whopping $1,698.
That’s where the Better Homes and Garden collection at Walmart’s Mira Velvet Swivel Chair comes in. As Apartment Therapy’s style editor Blair Donovan said in an article about it, “Never underestimate [Walmart’s] well-designed selection of home finds for every style, especially if yours skews more mid-century modern or boho.”

Fit for any room or aesthetic, the chair comes in an on-trend olive or cozy cream (depending on what material you get), and you can get it for just $248. It has a reversible seat that's about 2 feet wide, and its 360-degree rotation allows you swivel all the way around when sitting. Plus, you don't have to do any assembling.
On TikTok, creator @giuliannagm posted a video unboxing and styling it in her home, setting up a serene and sophisticated seating area by her window.
"Absolutely beautiful and so comfortable! I really think this chair is great quality and very stylish for the price,” she wrote in response a comment asking about the comfortability.
With coziness at the center of most 2024 interior design trends, it makes sense that this is a priority—especially when considering the affordable price. Along with its sturdy wood frame and soft velvet material, the chair is made with high-density foam for even more comfort. (It’s also available in faux-shearling and linen covers, though both of those options are sold out right now.) Add a throw blanket, and you have a designated spot to unwind with a book and glass of wine at the end of the day.
And people aren't just raving on social media and in articles: The chair has 321 reviews on Walmart’s website, and on average, shoppers gave it 4.9 out of five stars.
One reviewer wrote that it “looks great and is truly comfortable for long periods of time.” Another said they were “so impressed with the quality of this chair for the price!
“I happened to catch this on [a] major sale and bought [two],” they added. “Love them! They are surprisingly comfortable! Not a lot of padding on the back but a throw pillow can help with that. Swivel smoothly. Packaged really well too.”
If you’ve been looking for a new seating solution and can't resist a good deal—run, don’t walk, to Walmart now. The chair—in various upholstery options—has already sold out five times (and according to Apartment Therapy, it "definitely" will again), so you don't want to miss out.
