Thank you! I'm hoping to get away with under $300 per chair. I'm probably needing 12-14 chairs, depending on their width. I love the low back chairs with arms but there isn't a huge selection (I can find) upholstered.

@Roseann Malcuit Bleiwiess I have the same issue with my black one that I bought in May 2016. It has unraveled like yours. I was thinking of using glue to hold it in place. Even thought about Gorilla crazy glue or something. However I am going to try to see if there is anyway I can tuck it in.. Otherwise I will end up trying the glue route. Will keep you updated. If you already fixed yours do provide update.

did granny also leave damask table cloths which would lighten the look instantly and, although i was very shocked at first, my sister in law PAINTED the antique chairs left to them and added some country style fabric seats and now uses the chairs with a modern table and it looks fabulous and is a daily reminder of dear old granny and i think she'd agree that you should mix and match what you like in your own home

It all depends on how much money you would like to spend. As your lounge is dark and your stools and bookcase are also dark I think white chairs would be fine, but then I would change the stools as well and take some white down to the lounge area. However you can buy stretchy covers for this style of chair for around $10 and there is quite a variety, so I would look on line for those to see if you like any of them as that would be a very easy fix.
