Good Questions: Perfect Square Dark Bentwood Chair?

Hello AT,

Recently I have begun a search for the perfect (yet economical) bent plywood dining chair for our newly purchased chrome legged kitchen table. I have checked all of my usual suspects - CB2, West Elm, Ikea, Room&Board (clockwise from top left) - but what i am looking for,...

namely something like the Boxy (from Room&Board) or the Gilbert in black/brown from ikea, have been either sold for months or are not available in a black woodgrain finish.

Does anyone know of any other sites where one could find a square-ish backed bent plywood chair with chrome legs in black finish? I'm going crazy! thanks!

- John

Anyone??

I have been looking for something similar and will likely go with the vicoduo chair:

Ok I just got my overstock chairs and I was impressed! They are super nice, great quality, and the zebrawood looks great. No matter what color wood you have these chairs will work!
