Those are beautiful, and wonderful with your light! I would want to sit in one, because I cannot stand chairs gouging me across the back.

Although they're not my style, they are very beautiful chairs. The walnut is luscious. I would be a bit concerned with the lack of lower back support. I have chairs very similar to the ones you have right now. They are Early American (circa mid 50s) maple, frumpy as all get out, but so comfortable. I have been wanting new ones for years, but can't seem to pull the trigger. Arms are a big plus.

I like the look of them and they seem similar to what you have as far as the height of the back.

Key is comfort. So........that would of course be the deciding factor.

Beautiful chairs!

Those are gorgeous and look comfy - I'd order one to try before committing, if you can't sit in them first. I like the low profile so there isn't anything blocking your beautiful window and view.

very pretty chairs! One question I have is about their style. They read a little modern/MCM to me. While I can’t see the furniture in your picture clearly, I don’t see modern/MCM in the rest of your furniture (e.g. nail-head trim in your bar seating to the low left of the pic). I could be totally mistaken in how I describe both your current furniture and the chairs you’re considering.

Love them. I think they add a bit of zing!

I greatly appreciate the feedback. Thank you all!

cm - not sure why your comment disappeared, thank you for the input, they are definitely pricey. From what I see, these were made in Canada vs. China; I can definitely confirm. Apparently we need to assemble - DH is handy - which has me looking at the pictures more closely wondering about quality. Point taken about the 11.5" seat back; our current ones are 14", which is not too high to obstruct the view.

I do prefer chairs with arms. Admittedly, we use these chairs infrequently, as we usually sit at the island and often even less formal places, to dine.

Springroz - Yes, we really ought to test drive one of these before taking the plunge. I will reach out to determine any local distributors (we're in the Boston area).

Bunny - yes! Despite no cushion, the current chairs are quite comfortable. Arms are key. We've had many enjoyable evenings spent around the table, playing cards, eating, etc.. You are helping me create the right profile: attractive, walnut, comfortable, well-built chair which has a low profile and arms.

eld6161 - You have a good eye. Our current chairs are 31" tall; these are 29". Current seat height is 18"; these are 17". Being 5'3", that gives me pause as it puts me an inch lower, which makes a visceral difference. Hmmmm, that may be the deal breaker.

sushipup1 - thank you for the enabling:)

olychick - Yes, it's very much about the low profile. If I can find the chair to test locally, perhaps we can bring it home for a weekend to see how it works in place.

nutsaboutplants - Thanks for bringing up a question I wonder about myself. I like the clean lines of the chair, which I think can blend in. We're in a New England Ranch which we renovated to a Cape. I self-identify as transitional. My trim work in the house has undergone a similar transition.

Thanks mtnrd!

DH and I zipped in to the ThosMoser showroom yesterday morning and tried out the Newport chair. It was extremely comfortable and the right height, so I have ordered 4, with a July pick up date. These are a bit of a splurge but will definitely spark joy! I'm having the spindles and legs darkened to match the walnut frame we selected. Happy Old Bat!

Beautiful!!

I am SO jealous that you can just buzz into that showroom....their furniture has always been some of my favorite!!

Those are beautiful!

Perfect choice, well done.

Beautiful. enjoy!

Those are great chairs!

Perfect spark of joy!

Omigosh, even better than your first choice! They are gorgeous.

Thank you all very much for the kind words. I've learned that ash (used for the spindles and legs) will fairly quickly (5 years) darken to close to the walnut color. Walnut is not recommended for spindles and legs as it is not strong enough. So, my options are to use Ash for everything, stained a walnut color, and get a 5% discount, or simply wait. As I prefer the walnut, I think we'll just order the chair as it's supposed to be.... and wait. I will post pictures once the chairs are in place... but may take liberties and photo-shop the spindles and legs darker.

Ob2b I will be in Freeport on Saturday. Would you like me to pop in to Moser to see if a floor display in ash that has darkened?

Coincidence- the builder of our new house owns the grange hall that was Moser’s original workshop.

Beautifu!

I love your home!! Those are going to look incredible with your gorgeous table and in the light filled gorgeous area. I want to move in! I can just sit in the chairs since you said you hardly use them. ;)

localeater - Thank you - that would be very much appreciated. What a coincidence indeed - we are due to meet one of these years :)

nutsaboutplants - I very much appreciate the point you brought up about the style of the chair I originally posted, thank you!

aktillery9 - Big smile here! You are welcome anytime especially since I need your help with the mudroom redesign and kids' rooms redesign and exterior landscaping and ... :)
