What do you think about this chair?

14 years ago

I don't have anymore information on the chair, but something about it speaks to me. Not too long ago, I bought from CL, an antique bamboo shelf for my island themed bathroom. Got a good buy on it! :) I was thinking this chair would look good in the adjacent bedroom, that is similar in coloring. I don't know about cost.

Do you think this chair could be old? I am not sure what "real" translates to in the description. lol

There are many faux bamboo chairs, etc. This is bamboo.

hmmm...I think it looks very uncomfortable and can see that the books sliding off the shelving would be a problem, as well as the books getting dusty/dirty that close to the floor. You asked.......... Welcome to The Furniture Forum!

Also, I don't know that I'll have the right space for this painting, but I'd love to use it in the master bath if I can make it work. I thought about over the tub on the wall to the left, but the placement of the towel bar there may make it awkward. I found this in an antique shop in Suffolk, England. The tag indicated it to be a print and I paid the equivalent of $45 for it, but when I removed it from its awful original frame, I realized it is an original painting. It's a scene from St. Ives in Cornwall and is very special to me. Forgive the glaring reflection from the glass.

Sueb, it looks great! I love that it has some height to it for mixing drinks or serving platters. Initially I liked the first painting even though it was dark, bc I liked how it had green and the wall was green and then the bottom half of the wall was red with the cabinet and rug. But the second print looks so much better bc of how bright it makes it look. The first was definitely a dark hole. There is some extra room on the sides of the print but I kind of like it. Maybe see what kind of items will sit on the cabinet before adding more art. In case you have a tall something. You did great!

What do you think about this Dining Table/Chairs?

My kids are all grown and no grandkids yet - plus this is a vacation condo so I picture this table being used for holidays and maybe 2-3 other times a year. It's pretty much just me and hubby and we have a small kitchen table we eat at. I was just trying to think outside the box of matching furniture. :-) Actually, the colors are do go together pretty well, it's hard to picture when using stock photos. I also came across this photo and ironically, the two chairs in the back are very similar to the matching side chair and the rattan chairs are the pretty much the same. The difference I see here is the table and parson chair and cushions are all the same color. But a different visual than my mock up. lol

It's a decent looking chair for sixty bucks :) What's the worst thing that could happen? You paint it and put it in the garden!

I think it's a good deal. The seller says it's real bamboo. Looks like it needs a cushion to me.
I think it would echo what you have in the bathroom nicely...but you will likely have about $175 to $200 in it by the time you get it "tricked out" with new cushion and a throw pillow and a pretty throw draped over.

LOL, isn't that the truth!

I am kind-of over it, though. I first saw the listing right after church and got excited, posted here, and didn't get any responses until checking now. I don't know, maybe I'm just tired.

I'll contact the seller and see what I can find out about condition, etc.. The seat looks cane and I wonder if it could be used without cushion, although it would be more decorative rather than used. I could probably find a ready made cushion that would do. The main thing is condition and price.

Perhaps I should offer $50 if it is in great shape. Not interested if it is not. I'll report back.

If you are not doing the heavy breathing over the chair....wait a couple of days and offer $25.

I found a VERY similar chair on eBay. Starting bid is $60, with no bids. The chair is missing a piece or two. After close inspection of CL chair, I think it may be missing some bars in the lower back of chair.

I am going to sleep on it, and then email the seller in the morning.

PS - Showed the chair to my daughter, It's her old room that I would put the chair in. She thinks the chair is just OK.

Thank you!
