Yeah we aren't far from thenwrick one but stoughton isn't that far either. Will check it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657747 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 06:19:13 +0000 hellobeeboston 2657747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: do you have a store near you? They have a lot of wood colors to choose from. I bet they'd let you bring a sample home to match to your table. I've been really happy with our wood chairs from there for the last 4 years.</p> <p>Oops, just saw you posted you do have a store near, there is a warehouse in stoughton where you can pick up a lot of furniture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657680 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 20:21:57 +0000 Shantuck 2657680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Hmmm. I'll have to look again. Yes, the Brentwood was the one I've been eyeing. We're trying to find one that works with this table (<a href="http://m.homedecorators.com/h5/pdp?path=%2Fp%2Faldridge-dining-table%2F00%2F270%2F" rel="nofollow">http://m.homedecorators.com/h5/pdp?path=%2Fp%2Faldridge-dining-table%2F00%2F270%2F</a>). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657677 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 20:12:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 2657677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shantuck: they have free shipping non all orders over $499.95, this weekend only! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657676 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 20:10:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 2657676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shantuck: curved Brentwood side chair?? That's the one I think we will ask for if I don't find something else I like better. I just hope the paint is ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657673 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 20:00:29 +0000 Shantuck 2657673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: oh nice! I wish we were closer! I really like the two tone chair with the x back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657670 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 19:55:59 +0000 Foodnerd81 2657670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shantuck: oh geez- I didn't look at shipping! There is a store less than half an hour away. My MIL is planning to buy some for us but if shipping is ridiculous I can drive and pick them up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657668 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 19:46:38 +0000 Shantuck 2657668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I'm on the hunt for similar chairs as well. The Boston interiors chairs are really expensive to ship to me ($700 for 6 chairs just to ship! I'm in the Midwest). I think we're going to get some IKEA chairs (the ingolf ones). They actually make "junior chairs" which is great for my 4 year old who refuses to use a booster. We have been using the junior chair for about a month and it wipes down nicely and feels substantial. We think we might just get the adult versions and all the chairs can match. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657629 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 16:11:27 +0000 Foodnerd81 2657629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: actually so far my favorites are from bostoninteriors. I'm not sure about the color of the wood seat though. But they are the closest and the ones I liked best are on sale for $99. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657624 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 15:50:50 +0000 Pancakes 2657624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: We bought painted chairs from Crate and Barrel six months ago and they are already chipping :crying: I'd agree with avoiding painted chairs if you can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657623 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 15:45:59 +0000 MrsB2012 2657623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: :heart: :heart: to that first pic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657619 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 15:33:59 +0000 looch 2657619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: even then, people tend to put their feet on the bottom rungs, and you can see the wear.</p> <p>I prefer stain for chairs. I currently have ones that are finished in a colored stain and we hardly use them, but I can already see surface scratches and it bugs me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657614 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 15:02:26 +0000 hellobeeboston 2657614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you check out Boston Interiors? I think they're having a sale. We having dining table chairs from them that are wood and they're great and sturdy and I remember them being a good deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657611 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 14:51:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 2657611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: we do not get a ton of natural light and are doing everything we can to brighten it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657602 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 14:29:55 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2657602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the look of black chairs if you get enough natural light. Something in the style of what @Rocker2014: posted but black. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657591 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 13:47:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 2657591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: I think I showed very similar ones to dh last night- he vetoed the green wash. But I'll take another look there. Good to know they held up well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657584 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 13:35:04 +0000 gotkimchi 2657584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check pier one. We have chairs that are a wood seat but a green wash or stain on the rest of the chair and have held up beautifully. Style is very similar to what you posted </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657583 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 13:28:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 2657583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: those upholstered chairs would look beautiful for about twelve seconds, until C ate her first meal at the table and wiped her dirty hands all over them! </p> <p>I do like the look of the metal ones but I don't think it goes with the style of our house. It's sort of colonial/ farmhouse ish. </p> <p>@looch: you think even when it's only the frame painted, with a stained seat, it doesn't hold up? We have only had stained bar stools so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657553 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 11:28:06 +0000 looch 2657553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally like painted wood, but on chairs, it never seems to hold up, so I would probably do a chair in a stain that matches the top of the table. I also really like a pop of color in a painted metal, that would be a fun place to put an accent color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657550 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 11:21:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2657550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: the metal ones is what I'd suggest too!<br /> We have those same chairs for our wooden table, from target. My sisters farmhouse table looks nearly identical to yours and she as well has the metal ones from target. </p> <p>I have to say I love the look of an upholstered chair with a wooden farmhouse table though! </p> [attach=1597/16/ohb6sf.399x600.IMG_8676.JPG] [attach=1597/16/ohb6sg.337x600.IMG_8677.PNG] [attach=1597/16/ohb6sh.337x600.IMG_8678.PNG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657544 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 10:50:14 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2657544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love mismatched chairs or metal. 😄 </p> [attach=3657/16/ohb5br.337x600.IMG_3162.PNG] [attach=3657/16/ohb5bs.337x600.IMG_4055.PNG] [attach=3657/16/ohb5bt.337x600.IMG_4056.PNG] [attach=3657/16/ohb5bv.337x600.IMG_4057.PNG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657542 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 10:35:37 +0000 Rocker2014 2657542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to have a similar table, and we had these kind of chairs with it. </p> [attach=4811/16/ohb4nd.338x600.image.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chairs-for-this-table#post-2657537 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 10:00:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 2657537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just for fun, what chairs would you get for this table? DH and I (mostly DH) made on of those farmhouse tables that are all over Pinterest. Disclosure- it took a lot longer than a weekend like the bloggers promised. It's finishing drying in the garage now and we need chairs. Dh plans to build a matching bench eventually but we want four dining chairs as well. I like the one pictured below from wayfaur but it's unfinished and I just really don't feel like another project right away. We like the two tone look, white body with a wood seat. The table top is "early American". </p> <p>Any ideas? hoping for around $100 per chair (or less!). But we will be asking for them for Christmas so maybe a little wiggle room.</p> <p>[attach=2307/16/ohb307.450x600.IMG_9634.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=2307/16/ohb308.338x600.IMG_9648.PNG] </p>
