I'd add the Bellini Chair from DWR to the mix! A friend has 6 that he treks from his dining table to his patio. They're not as pretty as some of the big hitters (love the Navy!) but they're cheap and stackable!

it may be too modern for some, but we love the chair 1 from Magis, designed by Konstantin Gric. See them here:

And any ideas for sushi bar stools/chairs? The regular counter-height stools are too high...
I'm trying to go for something contemporary and different from the regular dining chair...
Thanks,
Ana
