$500 living room chairs. Any ideas? - Page 4

post #46 of 49
Are you in a hurry? What does furniture mean to you? Is it stuff you buy so that you have some where to sit when you come home from work? Or would you like to collect treasured pieces? You can often find authentic Eames chairs on CL for around $500 if you're willing to wait. Back when I scoured Craigslist, I had come across a few within a year in Columbus Ohio. Personally, I prefer a more eclectic look with pieces from different time periods, some new, some vintage, things found during travels, etc. Purchasing matching sets from DWR is not my taste. I actually picked up an incredibly comfortable (and mint when I purchased it) vintage Barca Lounger for $60 off Craigslist Of course, Barca doesn't sound very appealing, but the design is akin to the 50's modern look, not the Lazy Boy looking things they have had recently. Also the build quality is phenomenal.

depending on your floor i'd say the emeco navy chair might be good.



or maybe steen ostergaard's if you can find them.



or go for something like a classic bertoia

those bertoia diamond chairs are fairly comfortable too. especially if you opt for the full pad. (even better if you could find a bird chair for $500 or less) the emecos...not so much. if you've spent more than 15 minutes in one you'd know. you do not want to spend more than 15 minutes in one. MEGA sore ass.

Thank you, all. The Ostergaards are very cool looking. I don't think metal-backed chairs are what we want - we want something a bit more warm and home-y.

Cavalier, I am with you - but we just have the couch now, and need some more seating soon-ish. I would love to have used, new, mid-century, new age, etc. furniture, but my wife is a bit more conservative with her tastes.
