    HI -- None of those -- I prefer a Lawson style chair or a mid century modern or fifties retro with exposed legs.

    Fabric in orange/rusty one is not what I would choose! I've seen it in a local store and it is beautiful in the right fabric.

    None on the above, tho I adore Groveraxle's chair!! Great combo of fabs. I also like kathy's ikat chair.

    None of the above. I like my deep seated armchairs comfortable enough to curl up in without the need for a footrest.

    4-though I'd rather have more of a Queen Anne style set of legs on it. Those look kind of "spindly."

    None of the above (original choices), however, I think Keitha's seating would be such fun in the right place.

    Chair # 3 will be nice in the bedroom' not too worries about color because we can choose whatever
    Color to suit our bedroom , At the end it is more of personal choice

    Hi Pure Home,

    Very interesting post! I guess if I absolutely have to pick one of these, my choice would be number four. I know you are all in shock, lol! Why would I choose this one? Because I love great traditional design, especially when done correctly. That being said, I would have to change the legs to a Chippendale style, add nailhead trim around the arms, also add indentation to the flat roll of the arms, and pick a different fabric. I'm seeing a leather on this chair, and they say I'm a tad bit OCD! Actually, number three has a little more style to it, although it has homely legs on it as well. I take it back, I hate them all! What about a bean bag chair? I'm going with number five and number six. That would be bubblyjock and Keith respectively. Why? They have more style, and definitely have the fun factor going on, yeah, yeah, yeah!

    None of the original choices. This is my favourite. Have yet to find fabric that I like to reupholster.

    #4, but in my case, a Chippendale leg, definitely not the ones shown. Wingback chairs have been around since the 1600's and have stood the test of time, evolving into other forms like the French bergere and modern Arne Jacobsen The Egg ( like #1 and the transitional #3.) I guess that's a bit like me; been around a long time, had several changing forms, and I'd like to think I'm still relevant.

    I love your chair Keitha! Found another one for you ...

    Well, since this discussion has veered off course a bit, with everyone posting their own favorite chair, we'll have at it!

    Here's our Rustic Club Chair #1167 and Rustic Ottoman #1173:

    Lefty47 i'm with you....wish I could afford a Mid Century recliner...since moving back to Holland haven't seen one up for sale yet.

    @indianpatti I LOVE your chair pick. Where is it from please?
  • 13 years ago
    I had TWO of the West Elm tulip chairs and LOVED them...you can even curl up in them or let your legs hang over one side. And gorgeous orangey honey color.
  • 13 years ago
    Here is my favorite. Modern & Classic.
  • 13 years ago
    I personally wouldn't choose any but if I had to, I'd pick #1 hands down.
  • 13 years ago
    @River Valley, you reminded me of another chair..the Maloof
  • 13 years ago
    None really reflect my style, but I'd have to sit in them to know, because I rate comfort over everything else. I'm afraid the chair I sit in 99% of the time is a swivel secretary chair that supports my lower back and makes me sit up straight and allows me to turn or scoot from the computer to dinner or to watching tv. I want it to be nice to look at, but comfort and practicality trump all else.

    I'm sure anyone who's seen my posts will be shocked that I say #1

    I've been digging these sleek swivel chairs lately but I think I would prefer them in a pale yellow leather for my living room with a contrasting brown welt seam.

    Being over 50...and everything hurts...I need something with some meat & support.
    It needs to have a shallow seat pan...strong back and arms (because I don't!) and sit fairly low. At 5'0", I need a chair that truly fits ME....not a 6'3 guy.

    I think the closest match would be that Stickley chair that feeney posted.
