Dining Chairs: These Were Disgusting
I bought these chairs on Craiglist for $5 EACH!!! After driving an hour away to pick them up {The Mr. wasn’t too thrilled about this}, we find out why. DIS-GUS-TING. I had protective wear when removing the cushion fabric because it was so nasty, and even nastier – they smelled. Ug. Gag. I’m reliving it now.
I mean, the owner was nice enough. He even bid me adieu with a “May Jesus bless your day.” But it wasn’t the chairs that were they sinners, why should these “vintage” Ethan Allan’s be sent to Outer Darkness?
I finished two of them today, tackling the other two next week. I had to remove the arms off of two of them because they didn’t fit under my table. But I also just noticed that with all four chairs under the table, they can’t tuck in all the way. DANG! I thought I had found the perfect chair for this cutie table. I guess I’ll live with it for a little bit and see if it drives me crazy.
And just a reminder, here are the IKEA chairs we had before…
