I think the one with the crossover back, as it is less bulky. However, you need to also take comfort into accountb- notjing worse than dining chairs that are not comfortable.

Black one, will look good in 20+ years time and will go almost any design style.

Avoid fabric dining chairs - I'm not the only one that drops food when eating....

Agree, thankyou!

The solid one will be hard to use near wall. They are difficult to move. Really need to get behind with 2 hands so I’d go the one with the open frame

Thanks all, great points! Ended up going with these chairs :) just need to buy the remaining 5 chairs lol

that table doesnt really look big enough for 5 more chairs, another 3 would look better :)

The leg across the bottom of the table will always be in the way when sliding chairs in and out. This is not a practical table for six. This table is only comfortable for four. Two on each side, and no chairs at the ends.

I don’t like metal chairs they give me a cold bum, cream fabric chairs dirty by the end of the month. High back chairs a nuisance as a mum trying to reach over and put food on the table.(I have these). The black cross back chairs only look ok for quick meals, I think comfort would be comprised at a dinner party or Christmas meal.
I quite like some of the suggested chairs below from the designer.
