Chairs

ChairsOf course, if you're buying a table, you'll need chairs to go with it ... but you may also need chairs for lowered breakfast bar areas in your kitchen ... or to go with a second hand table. Some antique farmhouse tables are a delight; adding character to a traditional style kitchen ... or providing a contrast to more modern kitchen units. Antique chairs are less of a delight, though. Our ancestors seem to have had smaller bottoms, somehow ... or perhaps it's all those years of the kids leaning back and balancing on two of the legs ... but antique chairs are rarely very robust. So - even if you're going for an antique table - Majjie suggests that you invest in new chairs.

This is one of those chairs that could stand alone as a seat in the kitchen - and be used at the dining table just when you need extra seating.  Beautiful clean lines. It comes in grey oak with a choice of colours for the upholstery - in fabric or leather.

These chairs are made from North American light oak with dark brown leather seats ... and they would match the Richmond Oak table also featured here (even though the oak comes from a different source).

I love these modern looking Norman Cherner style chairs. They're just right to fit round a modern glass table, for instance ... and they look just that bit classier than the chairs with metal legs. They're made from moulded plywood and can be veneered in oak, walnut or rosewood - with a 10 -12 week delivery time (they're made to order).

These are ideal inexpensive and cheerful kitchen chairs - modern and available in a choice of colours. They're made from maple veneer with a painted finish and the chrome legs reflect the paint colour too. Be warned that the yellow has a hint of green to it - there's also a bright pink and pastel lilac and blue-grey.

Not all the colours are kept in stock, though - you may need to wait for 10-12 weeks for them to be made to order.
