I know this is not strictly Style & Beauty, but this topic has a lot more traffic and I trust the advice given out by posters here. Have also started the same thread in Property/DIY.
Basically I need new dining chairs and am not sure where to look. We have a solid wood table, about 1 m square. I need 4 chairs, preferably small and with no arms (space is at a premium) and of good quality. DH keeps going on and on about "popping in to Ikea and getting some"...no offence to Ikea (a lot of my furniture is from there) but I really don't want cheapie chairs that will fall apart if someone over 8 stone sits on it! Our previous chairs weren't of the best quality and one of them broke when a guest sat on it (he was about 12 stone, so not massively obese or anything!) and another broke when we placed a heavy parcel on it 
Any ideas please?
