Great price! I'm going to look into those, I've never shopped at Home Goods! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoppers-of-the-hive-help-me-choose-new-dining-chairs#post-2097210 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 19:18:38 +0000 HTownMom 2097210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pancakes: I think they could totally work! Especially as @mrschickpea: mentioned if she can clean up after dogs then I'm sure you can for the kids! Also if you are using boosters then it's simple to put something under them to protect the fabric! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoppers-of-the-hive-help-me-choose-new-dining-chairs#post-2097171 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 18:28:39 +0000 Modern Daisy 2097171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought off-white nailhead upholstered chairs exactly like everyone is posting from home goods! They were $129 each and that is WAY cheaper than you could find anywhere else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoppers-of-the-hive-help-me-choose-new-dining-chairs#post-2097143 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 18:06:27 +0000 Pancakes 2097143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HTownMom: they're 4 years and 6 months old. We have a fisher price booster seat instead of a high chair, but we have another chair that we can use with the booster seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoppers-of-the-hive-help-me-choose-new-dining-chairs#post-2096981 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 16:01:47 +0000 mrschickpea 2096981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pancakes: I think if the upholstery is some sort of microsuede it would be really easy to clean! I have slobber city dogs and have no issues getting gunk off our suede furniture! World Market has great dining chairs that won't break the bank!</p> <p><a href="http://www.worldmarket.com/product/cocoa+lydia+dining+chairs%2C+set+of+2.do?&#038;from=fn" rel="nofollow">http://www.worldmarket.com/product/cocoa+lydia+dining+chairs%2C+set+of+2.do?&#038;from=fn</a> </p> [attach=4909/15/nkrbr0.600x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoppers-of-the-hive-help-me-choose-new-dining-chairs#post-2096968 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 15:52:50 +0000 HTownMom 2096968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pancakes: What age are your LOs? Could you use a disposable mats on the chairs or get a fabric the hides stains well! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoppers-of-the-hive-help-me-choose-new-dining-chairs#post-2096965 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 15:51:17 +0000 honeybear 2096965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't do upholstery except in a formal dining room because it's hard to keep clean. </p> <p>Maybe something like this would work: <a href="http://www.crateandbarrel.com/willa-dove-side-chair-and-cushion/f60935" rel="nofollow">http://www.crateandbarrel.com/willa-dove-side-chair-and-cushion/f60935</a></p> <p>Although I think with that table, I might like a curvier leg, like this one: <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/metropolitan-wood-side-dining-chair/?pkey=cchairs-furniture" rel="nofollow">http://www.potterybarn.com/products/metropolitan-wood-side-dining-chair/?pkey=cchairs-furniture</a>|chairs|&amp;</p> <p>If you want the upholstered "feel" you could always get cushions. </p> <p>Depending on your style, I think rattan or seagrass might be handsome, too.

This is the table we eat most meals at. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoppers-of-the-hive-help-me-choose-new-dining-chairs#post-2096924 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 15:23:41 +0000 yellowbird 2096924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably do something upholstered in a fun fabric! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoppers-of-the-hive-help-me-choose-new-dining-chairs#post-2096920 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 15:22:36 +0000 HTownMom 2096920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are not on the cheap side but maybe you could find something comparable on other sites. We have these and they are super comfortable plus I feel look very classic.</p> <p><a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/m/products/lorraine-armchair/?pkey=cchairs" rel="nofollow">http://www.potterybarn.com/m/products/lorraine-armchair/?pkey=cchairs</a> </p> [attach=4679/15/nkr9xo.338x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shoppers-of-the-hive-help-me-choose-new-dining-chairs#post-2096908 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 15:15:17 +0000 Pancakes 2096908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is our dining table, which can seat up to 8 with the leaf. Our current dining area is pretty small, though, so we have taken the leaf out. We have chairs very similar to these, and they just haven't held up. We have only had them 4 years. We'll be buying 6 new chairs, so I would like something nice but not wildly expensive. DH isn't a fan of the chairs that "match" the table. What would you suggest? </p> [attach=279/15/nkr9lh.547x342.Screen-Shot-2015-03-05-at-2.13.12-PM.png] [attach=279/15/nkr9lj.445x487.Screen-Shot-2015-03-05-at-2.18.11-PM.png]
