Wait, these are under $150... EACH?! And yet they are still so boring and basic looking! This was really the best you could find?

Um - some are as low as $20...
...Perhaps you have suggestions for others that could be included?

Boring? Or do you just lack the imagination to see them working nicely in the right setting?

Actually I love these. Boring? I would say these are all simple, elegant and versatile chairs that would work well in a variety of situations. And a decent range of prices are included.

I especially love the madeliene side chair... in fact I think I am going to be ordering 4 of these for my dining room.
