just scored some nice chairs

got 14 of these for nothing, all in great shape, only a bit of rust on some of the swivel glides, came right off

looking for a herman miller table to use with them

eames

maybe something like used

power washed and degreased, they look new

not going ito the formal dining room, but an off kitchen table area

looking for this type of feel, not as cluttered, home was built by a local architect for himself in the mid 60's, perfect fit

I told an architect buddy I was getting them he offerd $200 each for the 6 I don't want
