What do I do with these?

9 years ago

i have 6 of these vintage, ladder-back chairs that belonged to my Grandmother. They are beautiful, but so uncomfortable! I don't know how to begin to sell them! Any suggestions?

Sad to hear that the chairs are uncomfortable. I'm no expert, but since there haven't been any other suggestions, I'd try selling on my local craigslist under headings like furniture, antiques, and household. I'd also check with any local antiques/used-furniture stores or consignment shops.

Good luck! They sure are pretty chairs!

I agree with party_music. I paid $75 for a set of 4 about 5 years ago until I found new chairs which are much more comfortable.

Maybe cushions would help?
