Can you fit those new stools under that overhang?? They are very nice and comfy looking. Yes, you are in a bit of a dilemna here. I'm thinking.......thinking.........you need to closely match or go completely opposite but what would opposite be???? Guess they don't have a matching chair at this place? Maybe something with a fun print to it? Maybe a ghost chair? All metal chair? Honestly I am stumped. Something all upholstered?

But when you say 'any wood chair' then I am thinking a ladderback type (vertical or horizontal )wood chair will work, something with straight lines and a very dark cushion (black possibly). Am I helping or confusing you more.

yes, i am also wondering about the new chairs fitting the space. they have arms on them and the old do not. I woul match with a square back chair, not round or bowed, lighter in color. LOVE new upholstered chairs - again, square backs, not rounded. Check out Pier 1 website.

How about the Soho Arm Chair from Overstock? They have it in leather and linen. Your granite is beautiful!!!!

Did you want wheels or?

kiko,vampiressrn...thanks for the suggestions.....still trying to decide how "stodgy" I'd like to take this......

The stools have a spring in the swivel. I also placed them away from the bar as opposed to letting the arms swing over the counter....it's too hard to get into them when they're pulled forward....they seem comfy...

Vampiressrn's suggestion of a bankers chair sounded cool, but what immediately came to mind was the other style of banker's chair, like the one below (would look really nice sprayed black). Otherwise, I would do a low back, faux leather parsons chair.

Oh, I think the new ones so much better. Quite frankly, I think the sky's the limit on the chair you use for your computer. I would use a constracting color and possibly the same color wood, don't make it to matchy matchy, though.

I personally don't like the old bankers chair with your stools. I think you need a more tradional type chair to go with your pretty kitchen. Something that screams "I got style".

Look around, even on CL, you are in no hurry are you? You'll know it when you see it.

Note: I normally like old with new, but not in this case, but this is only my opinion. I could be wrong and often am, but not now. (lol)

newdawn1895...do you like kiko's chair? That was the type of thing I was thinking...might go? The backs really square like elsa42's bankers chair, tracee said use a square back....vampiressrn said a bankers chair....I've got a ladder back, it's not very stodgy. I've got time.....:0)
