I love 'em, but no - I can't see myself shelling out $500 for them. $300, yes.

If you have a place for them, then go for it!

Who's the maker?

Can't buy much new for that price. I think they're cute.

Very cute, that's for sure. I, like Aunt Jen, couldn't pay $500 for them though. $300 only if they were manufactured by someone knew made furniture that would last.

They are cute. It depends on how you use them. You bought a Silvery Blue metallic print MCM couch a while back right? I wouldn't get to many things going on without a plan in place.

*Your home decorating redo is one of my favorites especially the attic conversion.

Jen .. thanks, maybe they'll be willing to come down a bit.

Newhomebuilder .. I have two spots that I've been looking for a set of comfy chairs for. Both rooms I'm redoing, I'm on the look out for sofas too, so they could be tailored around the chairs. They only thing that's giving me pause is the pink .. I like pink, I've just never decorated with it. Right now the inside of my house is mostly green .. with blues, reds and white beadboard.

Parma .. I'm not sure on the maker yet, I e-mailed asking that and a few questions, hopefully they get back to me soon.

Sorry .. I was posting as you all were.

JGTB .. thanks. Sounds like they might have them priced a bit high.

Dilly .. The size of that sofa didn't work well for me, so I sold it to a friend that really wanted it. She's in the process of having it reuplostered right now, I can't wait to see how it turns out. :)

If they are in almost new condition I think the price is fair. They look nice and comfy, too.

Yes. definitely worth 500. wouldnt hurt to offer less in person. I would buy them.

Their asking too much for my area also. I just found 2 matching cushy club chairs, $150 for the pair. The ottoman....maybe another $50. I try to put things in perspective...it's "used" furniture!

I forgot I found these club chairs on CL. $175 for 2. Interesting...

Here is a link that might be useful: pair of similar chairs

I think they're worth $500, too. Especially if you love them. Then they're a Super bargain!

Zip, did you find out the maker, yet?

CL isn't just about getting something for $50-$100. Nicole's chairs are lovely, but also in need of reupholstering, so we're talking apples and oranges, there.

IMO, if you can find something in pristine condition and only pay 25% of retail, you're still getting a fabulous deal. A Century DR set, that would retail for over $20,000, isn't going to be listed for $75 if it's in primo shape, but still would probably be cheaper than you'd pay in a consignment store.

parma42....I think they wanted to reupholster them because a lot of people find little pink flowers to be hideous! YEP...not everyone flocks to own a feminine look.....my DH took one look and made rude noises....smile I think the style looks very cushy....after that.....well....stutter....backing away...smile

Nicole, I love the chairs you posted. They are, very much, my style.

Pink flowers are pretty tricky. Not only do you have to have a place where they'd fit, but a pattern you find pleasing (like in zip's chairs).

In my home, your chairs would be perfect (in a different fabric), while in zip's, I like the ones she found on CL.

Forgive me if I sounded grumpy. I just wanted to point out that there are deals to be found at many price points, not just the bargain basement. Practically new, for 25% of list, is still a deal. :)

If the design won't work in your home, and you don't intend to upholster the chairs, then don't buy them.

I don't think the price is too high.....they're only a yr old and look 'like new'. Are you sure the color is pink vs red? Go look at them, then make your decision.

I absolutely agree wth Parma-- and for me I also factor in not having to shop and go to stores (which are never open the hours I am available) or wait the 6-8 weeks that is typical when ordering a piece. I won't pay grossly inflated prices (as is common in my area-- even for trash) but I also don't expect everything to be garage sale "I'll all but pay you to get this out of my house" prices for all that I see. My mom holds out for the totally bottomed out bargain prices-- but then she makes a "job" of seeking out bargains. It's even somewhat of a game with her. Not to me-- I just don't have the time nor do I get the same satisfaction from the "wins".

You can't touch a well made upholstered chair for under $1000. Those chairs look to be quality to me and they are only a year old. I would jump at the deal if the style and fabric worked for me.

Hey guys ... so far no one has gotten back to me on the chairs at all. I have feeling I won't be hearing back. I don't know why but I never have good luck getting people to return e-mails when it comes to furniture on CL. I wish they has posted a phone number to contact them, oh well that's how it goes.
