Can you help me find this .....

[fogginghell]

Dining chair (x6) that I've been looking for the past 18 months

It's got to be :

Velvet (not crushed velvet)
Oak legs (important as black legs chip easily and I couldn't cope with the upkeep of chrome legs!)
Knocker back style
Studded side detail preferred !

We have an oak dining table and the dining room is open plan with the kitchen which has a slate Grey kitchen - so what colour chair should I go with ? I have three young kids so cream is out of the question but they have to fit the above criteria!

I've looked absolutely everywhere and I can't find them. It's driving me crazy and I just need some chairs to complete my dining table because staring at it everyday during lockdown is DRIVING ME CRAZY.

And breathe .

I want to thank everyone for all the replies and ideas on this thread , it truly has blown me off away .

Thank thou, thank you so much everyone 😂

I’m loitering so I’ll help you out op

I have red velvet with my oak table - unfortunately they don’t have studs though...they’re from John Lewis!!

Is there a perhaps a reason you’re struggling to find such a style?...

Ah @Beerincomechampagnetastes there you are, wondering where you'd got to, you were the only one who hadn't responded !!

Oooh I love your red chairs , they probably hide a multitude of child related sins as well! I don't know whether red would go very well with slate grey though .

@plunkplunkfizz is there ??? I don't know. I didn't think I was being particularly fussy

They currently have £10 off as well.

It was a very popular style about five years ago and after things are very popular that popularity tends to fall off a cliff and people consider the trend a bit naff. The former popularity of the style might be why you’re struggling now. Maybe you could try Wayfair, eBay or Amazon.

I have no idea what knocker back style is but these have some of the other features you were looking for I think

You’re bonkers for wanting velvet with 3 young kids though.

I wouldn’t even trust DP to keep them clean for more than about 30 seconds

I have no idea what knocker back style is

There’s an entirely superfluous metal door knocker attached to the back of the chair.

Or these?

plunkplunkfizz but why tho? Hilarious drunken dinner party japes?

Looks fancy apparently. I once saw someone hang their napkin on the knocker when they went to the bathroom mid-meal.

There's a good fb group called House Talk - someone on there may be able to help.

ohffs

I believe it’s to pull the chair out from the table without having to put your hands on the upholstery.

@beerincomechampagnetastes practical as well as decorative then! 😂

@plunkplunkfizz ah I see. Well thanks for that , I don't give a shiny shit if it's considered naff because I like it

@BestestBrownies I must be however I have a velvet sofa in the playroom which is holding up very well so I've been very much encouraged ! Velvet cleans up really well surprisingly

Ooooh @emcero I like the oak furniture store ones !

@fogginghell they also have them with a slightly darker oak leg which are £50 cheaper each...

Oooh they have so many ! I really like this shape of chair and the colour of the oak. £200 each though 🥴

OKA have some fabulous velvet dining chairs

@Alyic oh my goodness ... those chairs 😍😍😍😍 utter class!!! It's a shame my budget won't stretch that far 😩
