Yes, I do think the rug gripper pad may be better. I have the shelf liner on there right now. Thanks, Linda and Nicole. That would be a quick fix - if not, I will need to do the rings and clips. Les, I did switch the cushions - Chemocurl had suggested that above as well. I just did it - and the stripes are about 3/8" off -- not much - but it would be noticable. I don't know if the cushion is too large or not. When I postioned both cushions right now, they felt about the same going in. It is just so strange - as the reclining one is no problem. The store was not much help. I would love to get an answer - I looked on the company website and there is no address, but I am sure I can get it from my store if I want. The chairs were made in Indiana or Illinois - can't remember. We purchased a sofa as well and that is just fine (same manufacturer). Thanks again for all of your help.

Cox has been around for a long time. They are a source for designers to go to when they need something unique, upholstered in a special fabric, but the budget was limited, like a vanity stool, chaise lounge, ottoman, parson's chairs or in your case a special dining chair. Here is a link that might be useful: Cox

The style is Sheraton. It looks vintage, but is not an antique. Lovely chair, and I would have it reupholstered.

I love everything you chose! I think your issue is actually arrangement. Instead of centering the bench, push it all the way to the right to where the plant sits currently. I'd keep your existing mirror and add several more in a grouping over the bench, a small gallery wall of mirrors. You have natural asymmetry because of the switchplate, location so roll with it rather than fight it. Dip some of the mirrors down closer to the bench. Mix wood and gold-tone frames. You'll need to relo the coat hooks...that's ok. I'd actually stagger 5 closer to the door where there's a top row of three and a bottom row of two in the gaps from the top. Throw a small mirror or two over on that side as well. Depending on your ceiling height, and if you still have the parts for the chandelier, trade out the drop piece you used for the next longer  one to bring it a bit lower. From there, just add some more greenery and a few more pillows.
