The Great “Chair” Debate

With table top firmly in place and the sides being constructed I am now pondering the big decisions of which chairs to buy.

I have found TONS of chairs I love, but (there is always a but) they (the TONS of chairs I love) are WAY too much money (for me that is).

I would like to keep it to under $50 a chair. So if you figure we’re starting with 6 that’s $300.  That’s $100 more than my current dining set cost out the door. It’s just a lot for me to swallow. Especially when I’m looking at molded plastic chairs!  But we have to be able to sit down and I want it end up like my vision.

Remember my inspiration for this whole thing?…over a year ago!

Alright-back to the chairs.  I’ve been going back and forth Black or White Black or White.  And I think I’ve decided White-even though there are more (affordable!) options in black.  Most of the furniture in that room is Black…so I feel like we need some more white.

So with out further ado…these are the contenders.

Nils from Ikea-$70

He also comes with arms-$80 (he might be a “future” purchase)

Wal-mart choice-$35 (might be disqualified due to bad reports)

Amazon find – set of 2 for $99 (solid wood)

Gilbert-Ikea-$40 (He stacks-so that’s a plus)

Erland-Ikea-$60 (molded plastic-looks a little too scholastic)

Boujan-Overstock-$118 for the pair

Quindel –Vive Décor- $122 for the pair (might leave weird marks)

And the overpriced dream chairs:

CB2-$120 for 1 chair

Meijer-$80 (I’m going to watch for a sale!)

And the evil dark chairs…with their good deals, sleek designs and taunting sets of four!

Overstock-4 for $136 – Stackable-scratch proof-hose down-able

Meijer-4 for $156- stackable-padded!

Target-2 for $70 Stackable-oh so cute

So there you have it…now it’s decision time. We’ll be buying 6 chairs to start, either in pairs or singles.  Any that you think rock more than others?  Who knows-you might be sitting in one someday-so choose wisely!
