Please help me narrow down choices - dining room chairs and bar stools

7 years ago

Here are pictures of my dining room table with the old chairs and bar stools. They are broken and falling apart and need to be replaced. I took suggestions and have narrowed down possibilities for new dining room chairs and bar stools and would love any feedback. Thank you!!

    Dining chairs 1 and 2 are considerably shorter than the chairs you have. Is that OK with you?

    Can you tell me where I can find option #3? I need chairs too.

    Beverly, the floor to seat height of my current chairs are 18 inches while chair one and two are both 19 inches. The overall height from floor to top of chair is different. My current chairs measure 39 1/2 inches from floor to top of chair while chair one is 38 inches and chair two is 34 1/2 inches. Would love to hear your thoughts on this and hear what you think are my best options :)

    Nate, chair 3 is a custom chair from Carrington Court Direct.

    Can you share a picture of your countertop?

    While I like the style, I think dining chair 1 will be lost with all of the similarly toned wood (table and cabinets). Because of that I prefer chair 2 or 3.

    Both stools are nice. Would you want them to blend more or stand out? If the former. I'd go with stool 1. If you love the color and want them to really stand out, stool 2 will stand out a lot more.

    Thank you pricklypearcactus. I appreciate your input. Here is a picture of the counter.

    I am not sure on the stools. I am afraid of everything looking too brown which is why I was going for the blue but then I am afraid it will stand out too much. If I go with dining room chair 3 then they make stools that match and everything is in a reddish brown color so not so brown which could be nice.

    Pick a stool that has a cream tone fabric as your granite. Does the stools you chosen have that.

    They do Claire. That is definitely another option that I'll consider. Thank you.

    What color is your rug and couch? The Orebro chair suggested by Manhattan also comes in Graphite which might be a possible alternative to more brown.

    Lars, I could get the same leather but with different legs or shape of chair. Here are two other possibilities...

    The legs on your proposed dining room chairs do not go with the honey color of your dining room table. What might work best for you, unless the dining chair legs are beyond repair, is to reupholster the chairs, replacing the cane backs with fabric.

    truckeetd, the first option you picked of that chair is the best of the three - the second two have legs that are too chunky, IMO. The original chair #3 is not a bad option, especially if you want a high back.

    Suero, unfortunately the chairs are not worth saving. They are all broken/breaking and in really terrible condition. I really need new chairs. Thank you for your feedback.

    I would consider black chairs to contrast with your table and add some architectural lines to the room, and to also relate to your black appliances....I like the blue bar stool as an accent color especially if you will use turquoises light to dark in the rest of the room to pull it all together.!

    Like chair #1, but in a different color...does it come in a soft blue?

    Your place looks really rustic, reminds me of our old ski house. What do the legs on your table look like? I don't like your first chair option for your place. Depending on the table legs I think the last two chairs might be a good option. I like the turquoise stool in either that or a cream color. I like the idea of the dark stained legs because of the nice contrast they give to the pine in the house.
