Q: I am looking for chairs similar to Michelle's from her Small Cool entry. She stated that she got them from Pier 1 a couple years ago, but of course they don't have anything similar. Anyone seen something similar?

My sister-in-law has these, also from Pier 1 a few years ago. Hers are a natural color. These look like they've been spray painted. Can't help beyond that. Sorry...
I have them too, and bought them about 18 months ago at Pier 1 (on clearance for about $35 each). Mine are dark brown, so I also suspect spray paint.
I think it is the Mombasa, or a variant on that one...some seem to have more open backs and some are more tightly woven. Mine are tightly woven and very comfortable, though you do want a bolster pillow (as pictured).
this might seem obvious, but buy a rattan chair & paint it blue
I already knew that they had been painted by examining the photo, I am just on the hunt for the actual chairs or a similar one at a not so expensive price. Ikea has a rattan chair that I like but I think I will wait due to the $100 price tag per chair. I have found one via craigslist, but really want too and was trying to find a good price point as I think she is asking too much for the one. Thanks for the feedback though.
