Our Owner's Two Monte Design Grano Recliners: Still Her Favorite Seats (Even With Two Cats)
Our owner has two Monte Design Grano recliners in her living room.
Navy velvet with brass bases — timeless, elegant, and absolutely perfect. One for her, one for her husband. Unless the cats won — which, let's be honest, they did. Her baby is all grown up now, but these chairs? Still going strong, claimed by two very demanding cat babies who have zero qualms about sprawling across them for their afternoon naps.
That's what made us realize Monte Design deserves its own story.
Why Monte Design Is Different
Monte Design chairs are handcrafted in Canada by skilled makers, and you can feel it the moment you sit in one. The craftsmanship is in a completely different league from other chairs we carry. Every detail — the stitching, the frame, how solid it feels — screams quality.
If you have cats, choose velvet. Cats won't scratch it, and it's incredibly easy to clean — which is exactly why our owner chose navy. Your chair will look pristine for years, even with furry roommates.
Built to Last (And Then Some)
Here's what sets Monte Design apart: once your baby phase ends, these chairs don't end up in the garage or donated to a thrift store. The design is sophisticated enough that they belong in your living room, your bedroom, or anywhere else you want them.
Whether you choose a glider, a recliner, or a rocker — motorized or manual — every feature works in service of comfort and longevity, not trends.
That's the difference superior craftsmanship makes. Chairs that grow with your family — whether that's human babies, fur babies, or both.
Who It's For
Parents who want to invest in something real. People who appreciate quality construction and design that actually lasts. Anyone who knows the difference between a chair you tolerate and a chair you love sitting in — and that you'll love for decades to come.
If you're going to spend hours in a nursery chair (and you will), why not choose one that'll still be beautiful and comfortable ten years later? (Even if you end up sharing it with two very opinionated cats.)
The Real Talk
It's not cheap. But our owner didn't choose these for the nursery — she chose them for her home. Years later, they're still her favorite seats (cats notwithstanding), on a rainy Oregon day, in front of the fire. That's what you're paying for. Shop Monte Here
