Need help finding the right style of dining room table and chairs
Comments (8)I went to a couple of local stores today, just randomly chosen because they looked like they would carry formal dining furniture (Walter E. Smithe, Thomasville, and Drexel Heritage). As I expected no one had oak (except for mission which stylistically will not go with my china cabinet). So I looked for woods that were the right reddish brown color, which turned out to be, for the most part, mahogany. What I saw in all of these stores seemed to be really nice quality but I did experience sticker shock. (More from the price of the chairs than the tables: is $300 and up per chair normal? ArghÂ) I realize I havenÂt shopped for much furniture; when our kids were small utility ruled, and most of my good pieces are family antiques that I refinished myself. Subtracting the styles that wouldnÂt go and ones with distressing (I donÂt like distressing, at least not on a formal dining table), that left really only 2 tables found in 4 stores, one by Henredon and one by Thomasville. All of the stores said they had few styles on display but could order anything from the manufacturer. However ordering was what I didnÂt want to do, since I want to see the wood and workmanship close up. If I have to order anyway I might as well do it online. I have read about people on these forums ordering online but I have been concerned about getting something that is not the quality I am imagining. Are there any brands or vendors in particular I should look for, so I will not be disappointed? Thanks for any advice you can offer....See MoreOutdoor dining area - need help finding chairs!
Comments (5)I agree with you that eight would be too many. Personally, I think eight of anything is perhaps too many. Have you considered mixing two styles of chairs? Alternating something more "solid" with something transparent, to lighten the look? It would take some decorating chutzpah, but done right, would be quite smashing. My favorite (relatively affordable) patio brand is Emu. I also like Fermob for their fabulous colors....See MoreNeed help finding dining room chairs for this table
Comments (8)What is the "vibe" you are going for? My chairs would look great with your table, but they're simple leather with contrasting stitching. But my place is definitely contemporary/modern. (Obviously, there's a huge difference between the antique chairs tibbrix posted and the modern chairs Lars posted)....See MoreI need help finding chairs because I cannot find my dream set...
