Need help choosing dining chairs for my table.

I just purchased a 72" round dining table and now I need chairs. Chair A or Chair B?

I know I can get Chair B in the color I like (Peacock Blue), but not sure about Chair A.

I believe that the quality of Chair A will out last that of Chair B, but unsure. But, I am concerned if Chair A will last in terms of style throughout the years.

I have included photos of my dining room, table and color that I want to use on the dining chairs (see photo of couch). I have also included the images of both chairs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, how many chairs can I put at a 72" round table? Dimensions are included.

Thank you !!!!!

Chair A has a delightful design. Chair B is a ho-hummer...nice, but rather ordinary. And I accidentally voted for it, so please count l more vote for A and l less for B. You can fit 9 of Chair A at a 72" table. To figure how many chairs you can put at a round table, multiply the diameter times pi (3.14) to get the circumference. Add 2" to width of each chair and divide the circumference by that number. That number of chairs will fit around your table with 2" between each chair. Add more inches between chairs as you desire.

I prefer chair A because the slope of the chair arm mimics the table base. However, make sure you "sit test" both chairs to determine which suits you best for comfort.

Thanks! I did sit in both....words that came to mind were... Chair A - relaxing, solid, nice & safe. Chair B - very comfy, soft. (saw a review about Chair B saying it didn't stand up to daily use, so a little worried....maybe too soft?)

I agree with Carolyn with the design of Chair A over B.

chair A-- the nailhed really ties it together with your (GORGEOUS!) sofa. and the curved sides echo the curves of your round table. This style is classic it won't go out of style.

Hands down it's Chair A, however, if it isn't a very good quality, the nail head trim and welting might pose a problem or two. Nail head on a strip can pull out too easily, and welting needs to be pretty perfect to play well. You might want to go back and examine the nail head and welting, just to be certain.

Thank you all for your input! I'm definitely partial to Chair A. Now I just hope they can get it in the blue that I want.
