To ask your opinion on these chairs?

We ordered the table and chairs in the second photo, I had my heart set on chairs with knockers.
The correct table arrived but they send the chairs in the second photo accidentally.
They have offered to either replace the chairs with the ones we originally ordered within 10-14 days, or if we keep the chairs sent in error they will send us £120. Which do you prefer? Do you think the knocker chairs look smart?

I much prefer the chairs without knockers.

They look like piercings rather than knockers - I think the others are nicer.

Frankly I think knocker ones don't look as nice as the ones you've been sent

I dislike both and the entire style so you may want to literally count my vote opposite but I think the ones you were accidentally sent are much better

What are the knockers for?

The ones you have received are nicer. The knockers chairs always look abit cheap to me.

I am not a fan of knockers either, much better without.

Why would you want a knocker on your chair? They look so odd. You've definitely been lucky in getting the wrong ones

Everyone has those chairs with the knockers, they are very passé now!
I prefer the other 'wrong' chairs!

Adding my vote for knockerless chairs
If you prefer them though and you won't miss £120 then you are the one living with them

Least worst option no knocker very on trend will date quickly
I work for the utilities I’m in travellers houses this is there style if that’s the look you are going for it

The knocker chairs are awful. It's a lucky mistake.

The accidental chairs are much nicer imo

Forget the knockers - what's the point of them anyway?

The "wrong" ones are nicer although I also don't really like either set

They are copies of some expensive brand but the hook is to pull them out surely ?

You’ve been given a lucky swap. When I see those knockers ones in the shops I wonder who’d buy them.

What are the knockers even for? Hitching your horse while you eat?

They're both going to date very quickly but the knockerless ones are the better of the two.

Keep the accident chairs.

Not my style at all, but the accidental chairs are far far nicer than the ones you were meant to get. Plus, look at the photo of the first ones, the way the fabric/suede/velvet gets those annoying marks all over... I know the second are the same material, but the stitching breaks up the solid flat mass of fabric, and having a subtle pattern, will make that less noticeable. I'd spend forever every day smoothing the backs out on the first ones!

Agree it's a lucky swap...

The plain ones are better

I'm not a fan of these style of chairs (either), they're too trendy so they'll date quickly and I find them soulless. On the other hand, that's exactly why I think canvassing for style opinions isn't a great idea sometimes. Go with what you want in your home, it's you who has to spend all your time there.

The one thing I will say is that I don't think the knockers really add much to the overall look so I wouldn't be fussed but if that's what you had your heart set on and you're happy to deal with the inconvenience of the exchange then do it.

I don't like either, but the knocker ones are dated, keep the cheaper ones. Both look a bit Only Way is Essex - sorry 🫣

Well I prefer the original ones with the knocker on. The ones they accidentally sent you I’m not keen on. They look abit cheap with the studs all around the edge. Send them back and get what you originally wanted.

Neither are my style but yes, the ones you have aren't as bad as the knocker ones.

The knocker ones are horrific. They look so cheap and I've never understood them. We've managed for years to pull out chairs without hooks, why are they needed now?
