Yay or nay? I can get these far cheaper than what they'd usually go for as I do this for a business. Fancy a set of 4 Vitra Eames Effiel tower base chairs. My current chairs were a stop gap and are getting a bit tatty.

Current:-





Proposed chairs:-



or the DWRs



or something totally diff, Harry Bertoia wire chairs:-

Yeah, think the last ones would look good (lots of chrome in house too) so will match up. They are pretty small though in the flesh, don't want them looking lost.

Being brutally honest, I think they're all a bit rubbish.
I've always preferred tall elegant chairs for dining room.

Had these in mind too r.e high back chairs. Arne Jacobsen oxford chair..



I see buying furniture as a good investment if it's spent wisely, this stuff only increases in value & with the added bonus of most looks cool and nobody down your road has the same

Wire chairs wouldnt be good to sit on IMO. The white ones could look good in the right house, but really depends how the rest of the room is decorated.

Cheers mate

Can't really change the glass as it'd cost a fortune - its very thick and weighs a tonne!

The tall black one looks nice, though i've never been a fan of that kind of base.
Always reminds me of an office chair.

I don't like any of them tbh You'd need to have everything else in the room the same style to pull any of them off as dining chairs.|

Your room looks ace the way it is

I actually prefer the current ones over the three alternatives, none of which seem to match the decor or style of the room
