Thank you, Mark. I'm also looking for additional alternative ideas that command a grand presence (but not too victorian, or old) and not too minimalistic either. For example I saw these black leather French CB2 chairs which I have also considered (not sure if they are going to be the end tables, or the regular ones).

The CB2 chairs in black leather are quite nice. They are going to be more practical for sure. After a while the acrylic chairs will scratch. I would use the black leather chairs for side chairs and then get something really unique for the head of the table. Perhaps a modern wingback.

I also have a dark slate gray banquette to start for the table. So I'll only need end chairs (head of the table) and two other dining chairs.

How tall is the back of the banquette? The banquette can be taller than the chairs and the chairs can be slightly lower (as in the picture). Can you post a picture of the banquette? The above post found the same picture but I think your banquette has a back.

I need to play around with some chairs. It will take a few hours for to get back to you,

The Neiman Marcus tufted side and end chairs below with your table and baquette would be so lovely and I think the chandelier in the picture is also perfect...out of a Paris apartment. Love your table.

Do any of these interest you? I would love to work with you on finding the perfect pieces. These are from one of my favorite vendors.

Thank you @Maureen I was looking at this the same picture I picked to post. The tufted Louis are prefect.

Or Louis XVI with a different back.

Mj Roth you can also use the wingbacks with the Louis (round back ones). This ones my favorite combo. Try the Louis in grey and the wingbacks in dk grey.

Here are some more versions ( dis-guard the color). I know once your were entertaining the idea of black ghost chairs.

These are great, thank you. I particularly like these two - any ideas on where I can find/purchase them?

Another idea of chairs that can work with the banquette.

You know they can be paint or stained black.
