A lot of people have had trouble recently getting pics to appear in their original post, but seem to have better luck if they reply to their own post and include pictures then.

Inserting pics is not hard (other than the aforementioned fussiness, and occasional glitches that keep everyone from posting until they fix it). You need to start with a graphics file saved on your personal device (jpeg, bitmap, png etc.--I'm not sure of the full list of permissible formats, but those definitely work). When you are posting a message, there should be a photo icon under the message box. Click that and browse to select your file. The file should appear in your message, though it may take a few seconds to fully resolve (initially it may look hazy but should eventually look right). Wait until it is fully resolved before submitting the message.

I would just say that for the purpose of dining chairs...the iconic Ghost chair is the ultimate cat's bananas if (and it's a big if) you're the only one using it whilst wearing pajamas or all your guests only wear pajamas when they come to visit you. Why? Because all those zippers, buttons, etc. etc. on the clothing can scratch it easily. Of course, if you don't mind the patina, then it's okay :).

Good point. To be honest I live alone and I only use the dining table when I have guests. I like both. Ghost is more formal. I am just worried that if I order online from Amazon or Wayfair the Eiffel chair some of them apparently are hard to set up - I guess something to do with the eiffel part or wire. The Ghost is for sure easy and I am terrible at Ikea building and have been banned from using power tools. I wish I could show you the table but I will say this - I live in a "real" loft. Brick, beams, big artwork, futuristic Jetson sofa in the (leather and chrome) living room with Chrome tables; mid century modern teal sectional in the family room, stainless and white kitchen with three versions of sputnik and an island that is in the works which will be epoxy resin in turquoise, blue, purple and maybe with some bling.

Chris, your home sounds amazing! Well, the Ghost chair clearly (lol) doesn't require assembly, neither does the original Eames molded chair, as it arrives fully assembled.

Hearing your description, I say ghost all the way. The super classic French lines in the super modern acrylic/lucite will look awesome with all your other elements. Much as I like the Eames chairs, they are one more MCM element thrown into the mix, which I think would be a miss.

I have to admit either GHOST or EIFFEL since both are clear have a modern look and Mid Century Modern look - i think that is the term. My place is sadly cluttered (clothes horse and gift aholic). That being said I guess the issues are which in your expert minds do you like or think would look best and we need to consider how difficult they are to set up. EIffel is looking harder. I was leaning to the Eiffel which is the de rigeur everyone from Walmart to Costco to Structube have versions. And you need to know I did my place on the "cheap" - my $12000 leather living room set was for like $2500; I have $4000 coffee/end tables for under $1000, a $3000 piece of art coffee table for 300; a stainless steel bed that was $7000 for $800 and bench I made with 90 dollar Ikea legs for $8. So I am not going to pay much for these chairs maybe $70 Canadian. Eiffel would be cheaper but like $5 per chair from what I can see so far.

Ghost has nothing MCM about it. It is a Louis XVI chair in lucite. The material is not even MCM. The lines are absolutely not MCM.

Thanks Rita. Obviously the store clerk didn't know and the ghost chairs were in a mainly MCM furnished display. Sadly that still doesn't help me out a lot lol.

It's really quite impossible to tell without the pictures of your space, Chris.

Speaking in an abstract manner, the Ghost chair is very versatile and could be successfully used in a variety of spaces.

Here it is paired with the iconic George Nelson bubble light, as well as the Castiglioni's Arco Lamp. Also notice the "clean lines" of the tables in the photos.
