We got new dining chairs! We had our last beige eiffel chairs (I put a picture near the bottom of the post for you!) for three years and still loved them for how easy they are to wipe down, but were itching for a change. Over Thanksgiving, we hosted 30 Marcums and had to pull out all of the chairs under our roof. Among them, was one of these low back Windsor-style chairs that I used as an office chair for some time. I forgot how comfortable it was! And it looked so good with our dining table.
It sparked an idea, and on Black Friday, I noticed they were on closeout on Wayfair (still are!!) and I snatched up 7 more. It was nice to order a chair that we had lived with for so long and knew we liked.
These chairs are available at Overstock ($140) and Wayfair (closeout sale for $84!!).
Update! For sale on Amazon here. On Houzz here.
They are molded plastic and all one piece, which means they don’t knick like black wood does (our taller back windsor chairs had light scratches all over the seat!) and aren’t going to come loose at any joints.
I love the modern lower curved backs that are really supportive, the slightly tapered legs, that we can fit 8 easily at our table and they can stack when we don’t want that many!
Here’s a reminder of our previous chairs:
And now!
I think both are really good options, but I’m loving the sophistication of the black ones now and the contrast they bring. For a long time, I worried that black chairs would blend into our kitchen cabinets, but in reality, they make the dining table more distinct and the whole set-up feel less cluttered.
We’re brining the old shell chairs up to the cabin for now, so we don’t have to sit on patio chairs while we’re there (haha), but if you’re interested in those, they are still available here (on Amazon) or here (on Target) or here (on Overstock).

hi, i love your table but when i click the link you provided, it will not work anymore. can you tell me where you got it ?
Please provide a link directly to the chairs? The link you provide only goes to wayfair’s main site and I can’t find these exact chairs anywhere!
they are sold out everywhere. sorry
LOVE your dining room, just designing my new one now. It looks like the vase is no longer available, do you know of a similar one?
Gorgeous space! Please can you give me the room dimensions of the kitchen and the island and the distance to the dining room table as well? We’re starting a renovation shortly and I’m trying to see if we can do something similar!
Where is your light fixture over your table from? I love it!
It’s actually a discontinued fixture, but Jules wrote about some look-alikes today! You can see them here.
