Do these dining chairs go with this table?

last year
last modified: last year

These chairs come close to what I could use with a similar table. (Mine is the Lissette 36" marble cast iron bistro from Ballard Designs.) Daughter with whom I usually share similar decorating tastes feels strongly that they don't go together. At all. What say you, and any and all opinions welcomed including other possibilities. I don't have to have caning, but prefer black with a cushioned seat. Location to be on my not yet redone enclosed porch in front of windows to the backyard, so a forth chair will be somewhere in the room, but table will be close to the window, and given it's weight will generally only sit 3. I could really use feedback/help!

    I'm having technical difficulties and can't seem to post the web photo. I'll keep trying. (Chairs are from World Market, Flynn wood and cane back armchairs.) I have no idea if that business offers decent quality or not. Anyone with experience with them?

    Still not having luck with photos, but these are the links:

    I'm sorry, I'll try again tomorrow after work, I give up for now,

    I agree with Fun2B, they look too large and out of scale with the table and style looks off for a bistro table.

    I love those chairs! However, the circumference of a 36” circle is 113”. Divided by 4 gives you 28” per chair. The chairs are 23” wide. I think it is going to look really crowded. (All numbers rounded 😁).

    I would put those chairs with a dark brown table.

    I think I agree with those who have already replied, but how would you be using them? Four chairs around a table -- don't think that will be what you want. The table description says seats up to 4 with a 20 inch chair and the chairs are wider than that. If you were just looking to have 2 chairs with the table, size is less of a problem. but I'm not sure I see them together. Did you look at the photos of the chairs with tables? The four chairs are shown around a much larger table with a dark wood top.

    Indigo Rose - World Market is one of those hit or miss places. Lots of stylish things, some are good quality, some are not.

    I like the look of the chairs and the table but agree with others that the scale of the chairs to the table looks off.

    In the WM reviews, someone posted a similar bistro table with two of the chairs. I think two look ok with it, but three would definitely be too many:



    I totally agree with Dee that World Market furniture is very hit or miss. I’d for sure want to see and sit on them in person. This is another of the reviews and kind of goes with what I’ve seen of their chairs in person over the years (we shop there often for wine, treats, pillows) —

    “Chairs look very cheap in person. Gold paint on legs doesn't look good. Ordered 3 for a built in dining table in kitchen. I called about sending them back and was told I have to pay shipping to return them. Paid almost $450 each due to regular shipping and then also had to pay for oversized product since supposedly they would be shipped commercial carrier. They were not and were delivered by Fed Ex. Very frustrating so I guess I am keeping them.”

    It’s hard to suggest others without seeing the room and what other decor will be in there — rugs, other textiles, other furniture, etc.

    Excited about your project! I’d love a room like that. :)

    Thank you all for your thoughts. I would see these at a CT store if I were to purchase, so no shipping, and I would certainly want to try out in person. I did note the gold paint on the legs which I thought was a little weird, but most of the reviews were overall very positive. I would likely never use 4, mostly just me or at times 1 or 2 others, but was a little concerned about the width/scale which so many of you commented on. I also wished the curved back was not so straight across the top, but frankly was a little smitten with them and was having a hard time separating my vision from reality. So, they are off the table, so to speak! If anyone has any better ideas, please, feel free! Thanks again for your wisdom and help. PS if it wasn't clear, I already own the table, and Fun2BHere, thanks for the pics. I'll need to look up how to post photos again as I seem to not be able to get it right anymore.

    Those are really nice looking chairs - I don't think they jibe with that table tho. The styles seem to clash, IMO.

    carol, ^^^that's exactly what my daughter said! (not the part about the chairs being nice looking, though, as she dislikes them,)

  • last year

    Indigo Rose, I'm glad you can go see the chairs. The World Market website said there was one at the store near me, I was going to offer to go look at it and take pics. I haven't been to the store in a while and enjoy wandering around their food section.

    Dee, sorry for my delayed response but I've been working since early morning and just finished work paperwork (and yesterday was not done until midnight - I picked the wrong time to post a question!) You are so nice! I have decided after the nearly unanimous response that the chairs are the wrong scale and/or style to abandon my search for now as I frankly haven't seen anything else that calls me when I googled dining chairs. I don't know where else to look and have a lot going on, so it just feels too much right now. But thank you so much.

    I'm late in saying this and my opinion isn't worth much, but after seeing the review photo Jilly posted, I actually like the look of those 2 chairs with a table very similar to yours.

    Indigo Rose thanked Arapaho-Rd
  • last year

    Arapaho-Rd, Thanks. I looked at Jilly's photo and wonder what size that table top really is since they offer a 39" one just like that (which was too big for me), but those chairs seem almost as wide as the table, but they are only 23" wide. Could that top be only 24" or 30", or is something wrong with my eyes?

  • last year

    Indigo, I'm guessing you're right. The table is close to the chair width. I'm thinking of that setup in the photo like a bistro table with 2 side chairs. I made the mistake of buying 4 chairs for a 48"round table (that belonged to DH's mother) without measuring 1st. But I was hoping to push my 4 chairs in under the table. Doesn't work because the seats are too wide. The photo is more of a casual look and to me that works, if that makes sense. I saw some similar chairs on the big A. I will go find and post here for you.

    Interesting, but leans back too far as I'm a little constrained by space and I prefer all the structure to be black but I can't wait till later this morning to check out what else they offer - thank you!

  • last year

    Agree with you- after sending the A chair late last night I went back to Jillys photo. The black framed chair looks better.
