The club chair got its name from gentlemen's clubs that featured these in abundance. (BestReviews)

After a long, hard day nothing feels better than a comfortable seat. And when it comes to sitting well, club chairs have the corner on that market. Often used to create small conversational nooks in corners and near large windows, club chairs are synonymous with intimate conversation and comfort.

If you want to bring a bit of luxury into your home, the Greyleigh Margate Tufted Genuine Leather Club Chair is the perfect choice. It blends traditional lines with high-quality construction for a classic seating option.

Club chairs come in as many materials as you can think of, but there are three main contenders.

These may be the three main materials, but club chairs are available in everything from metal to plastic and faux leather, too.

Club chairs used to be reserved for the drawing room, but these days they are just as at home poolside. Outdoor club chairs bring a touch of class to the lawn or garden, and they come in different materials and fabrics that are designed to withstand the elements.

Within this general category, there are a variety of club chair styles.

Because of their size, some assembly may be required upon delivery. The best club chair comes with detailed instructions that require few tools and very little expertise

Not many people would consider leather easy to care for, but some types require less fuss than others. If less time cleaning is important to you, look for materials, including leather, that can receive little attention and still look good.

Even leather club chairs come in a variety of tones and colors. You can go for a chair that matches your existing color scheme or branch out and choose a new accent color to highlight the chair.

As with most furniture, the cost varies wildly, depending on the material you choose and whether or not it’s made by a more famous brand. Expect to spend $75-$2,000 on a single chair.

Greyleigh Margate Tufted Genuine Leather Club Chair: available at Wayfair

Our take: It's a luxurious take on a classic, with smart industrial features for a more versatile design.

What we like: The top grain leather is soft and beautiful. Architectural details like diagonal pleats and tapered wood legs lend a structural look to a comfortable chair. It is substantial without being too bulky. The chair is delivered fully assembled.

What we dislike: While it's a beautiful chair, it's on the pricey side.

Belleze Modern Accent Arm Club Chair: available at Amazon

Our take: If you like the look of leather but not its price tag or fussy care, this is the chair for you.

What we like: It has clean lines and a small footprint which makes it great for tight spaces. Some easy assembly is required, and the cushions attach simply with Velcro. It is available in 10 colors.

What we dislike: It is really small. This is best for a kid's room or a smaller guest suite.

Parma Outdoor Acacia Wood Club Chairs With Cushions: available at Amazon

Our take: The natural properties of acacia makes these chairs stylish and durable.

What we like: An acacia wood frame holds thick, comfortable cushions fastened with ties to the back of the chair. The seat is an ample 31 inches wide and deep enough to curl up in. A set of four chairs is also available in either blue or beige.

What we dislike: The cushions are water-resistant but not waterproof; you'll need to cover them when it rains.
