Mixing and matching is fine if done well. It just depends on the style of the chairs and table. Can you post pics of both?

Thanks for getting backto me. the old table was the same size and style as the new one but matched the chairs. the table top was beat but the chairs are in very good shape.

Not loving that mix, but if it doesn't bother you, no reason you can't keep using the chairs for now.

I would darken the chairs to match the tabletop. The dated element is the golden oak color. Suggestion: move the chairs 1/8 turn so they are offset and the chair doesn't back up to the wall. It will feel much more spacious!

I think the legs of the table are OK but the top, not so much. A tablecloth here would help.

If it were me, I’d sand/paint the chairs the same color as the table base, or strip table’s surface (or chairs) and restain. An easy method without having to prep is using chalk paint. Consider what look will best suit your kitchen cabinets and the adjoining room also.

Thanks for all the responses. I decided to purchase the chairs that match the table. I should have done that in the beginning. In fact the salesman told me that people who only buy tables usually come back for the chairs. Lesson learned.

No, the police will come to your house and arrest you.

No, seriously, you can do it -- but I don't love that picture. The two wood tones aren't friends. You easiest fix: Plop a tablecloth on the table.

Actually he told me that after I went back to buy the chairs. I considered buyng chairs from someone else but I don’t trust myself to buy the right thing. I get too nervous.
