    I think you are referring to picture#1? Yes, it is off and it would bother me.

    Are the chairs yours? Can you paint them?

    I think they look as though you tried to match and missed. If you want to stick with wood, look for something in the darker border color of the table. Maybe a dark walnut.

    im thinking to avoid the whole missmatched wood i might do parson chairs. I dont like the leather ones so hoping a neutral color would work.

    That was going to be my other suggestion!

    I dont see anything wrong with those chairs, Its difficult to comment or judge purely based on those chairs and table. What does the rest of your space look like ? Is there perhaps something else that is mismatched or do you have an eclectic look or some decor piece that is inherited or collected.
    Personally i love a mismatched dining table and chair, it adds to character and becomes a conversation piece as well. Not been a fan of a perfectly matched "set"', but then to each their own.
    All i am saying is that look at the bigger picture.
    Happy Easter.

    If you have already inherited the dining room and chairs, i would wait for the rest of the space to come together before deciding on trying to match the chairs to the table. Its the only thing your eye is seeing now, let the whole space come together and you will see that it will actually look good and not disturb you as much as it is now.

    The table looks a little rough to me...and the picture is way too small to tell much ...it appears that vintage chairs may sync better with the table..sometimes new...contemporary chairs just make the table look old and worn...also interior design decisions are all relative to the bigger picture..not easy to make choices without considering more than one part of the overall look...

    In addition matching wood is not nescessary if the contrast is more obvious

    I totally agree with SUGARBAKERS! I would be less concerned with the matchy-matchy and more concerned with how you envision the whole room coming together. Woods, by nature, don't have solid colors... every piece has different tones, which is what makes them beautiful. So there's nothing wrong with different toned woods in your room. Just think about how you want to "layer" your room... what fabrics do you see going in there? What paint colors? Art? What's most important is that you're putting in things that really speak to you!

    it was either going to be these chairs or parson fabric chairs. im clearly design challenged. wish the decisiom could just be made for me.
