I know that it helps to see a pic of the room, but my dining room is currently stuffed with furniture from other rooms as we are reinsulating and drywalling exterior walls....

The hutch is beautiful. Have you looked to see if you can find an authentic MCM table that would work with it? If the hallway and dining room are a bit separate, I don't see why the chair wouldn't work? Are you just using it as a place to stop and remove shoes, etc?

We have a teak mcm table, afromosia wood chairs and a walnut bar. I think they look wonderful together. They often mixed wood species in mcm furniture

Mixing furniture and wood species is a much better look than trying to “match” everything. If it’s all from the same period, you risk it looking dated and fuddy-duddy. It also allows each piece to shine for its own merits.

OMG IS THAT A BROYHILL? lucky you!

I like mixing woods, but the styles need to be closer together than what you have. it doesn't have to be a perfect period match, but what you posted is just too different. The table is too modern. The padded chairs might be passable if you have the right table, but in this case I do think staining the legs would help.

the one single chair the seller is offering? that's what you need. totally snatch it up for your entryway! see if you can find more furniture along that vein for your dining room. if consignment stores and FB marketplace do not yield what you want, then look at places that sell midcentury replicas, like joybird or west elm.

for example, the Emery dining table and Remy chairs from Joybird:

Like everything but might stain chair legs the same color as dining table and look for a table that has more of a vintage look with legs in picture below.

Thanks for the feedback!

The hutch is a Kent Coffey. I’m not sure if it was originally supposed to coordinate with the Broyhill or as a knock-off, but it looks like it’s in good shape. I was about to give up finding something local and order one off Etsy, but I checked Craigslist one last time. It’s about 1/3 the price of anything I found online. Very happy about it!

i wasnt thinking the table was modern since it’s mission/shaker. They do have an option to do an underbeveled edge. They do have an option with the traditional MCM round/angled legs. I was leaning towarda the shaker legs to be more timeless. The table is solid walnut so for the cost I wanted a style that would last through the MCM revival trend as I’d like to keep it 30+ years.

The chair legs are solid wood and come off so I can sand and restrain them. Right now they’re almost the same color as my white oak floor. But I’ll wait to do anything about that once I finally pick a table.

But I’ll reach out to the seller to see if the chair is still available, it would be to sit and take off shoes etc.

Black leather works very well with all those woods but IMO that is the wrong cahir for an entry.

it's a beautiful hutch. Kent Coffey was a competitor of Broyhill, and is known to be a solid brand. Also, if you have your heart set on the shaker table, go for it. in that case, your idea of getting it in a darker color will help it work with the hutch better. stain the chair legs to match as closely as you possibly can to the table.

it's not what my choice would be, but the thing is, nobody here is officially the design police! get what you love. I do think it is a beautiful table with nice clean lines.

also, what is the brand of that table? I would love to see what else they have!

@User The table is from an Amish built website. They offer a lot of customization so you kind have to be able to look past some of their pictures and use your imaginatio. The picture I posted above is a custom table they did. Here’s their standard picture

A huge difference in style but its the “same“ table. Id love a walnut table if it goes with the hutch ...

@Patricia Colwell Consulting What style chair might work better for an entry? And when I refer to our entry, it’s nothjng formal, it’s basically a 5ft wide 20” deep alcove next to the closet.

honestly, I think you can put anything you want in an entry. small chair, bench, tuft, wooden box-- whatever you want to sit on that fits the space. I think your chair choice is fine, and a good use of a single piece that doesn't have any mates.

Beth H, love your room!

Sasha I did not realize how small that space was that chair will be fine. I would not go crazy trying to match woods they never will anyway. I do agree the table is a bit off but it works for now just keep your eye out for a MCM table BTW Kent Coffey was doing furniture 20 yrs before Broyhill so I wonder who copied who?

Patricia,, The original Brasilia design was by Broyhill. They did it as a homage to the Capital city of Brasíilia, which was named in 1960. The architect there came out w/some very modern designs for the capital building.

Broyhill decided to run w/that design and created the The Brasilia line (hence how their company got to patent the actual name of the city. The patent wasn't filed until 1963, prob because they saw all of the copy cats!)

The Brasilia design was debuted in 1962 at the Worlds Fair.

Kent Coffey came out w/the Perspecta in 1963.

Doesn't matter who started making furniture first, the original design of those arches was done first by Broyhill.

Thanks! We’re off tomorrow morning to pick up the cabinet.

Any suggeactions on what to look for to put next to the chair in the “entry”. I’ll need to keep it 30”-36” wide, I’d like have 3 useful drawers, and to temper the MCM vibe. Maybe a painted piece since there will be so many woods?

You should post a pic of the entry once you get the chair in. That will make it easier to make decisions.

Picked up both pieces today, not sure about the chair now that I have it. Seems a little short. But I got both for $710 so I think that’s still pretty good!

The poor chair gets lost in that space. Is there another spot in the house where it can be used?

I want to get a storage piece to put next to it, not sure what style though....

I like the idea of a small cabinet too. closed storage for shoes, gloves, etc.

this might be one of those things where you just need to give it time for the right thing to come up. meanwhile, you could put a couple of baskets or plants in plant stands there. just to temporarily fill the space.

Any storage piece you get will have to have tall enough legs to clear the baseboard. This is nicely sized at 28" wide

This is nice too. It's open and short enough that it won't overwhelm the chair.
