Craigslist Purchase: Chippendale Chairs

<div style="text-align: center;">We all do crazy things from time to time. For me, this includes driving nearly 2 hours to purchase a dining set when I do not have a dining room....<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZXhktdwpGUHOBX2vS2euAt2aAiH4cJz4O_QM30ieP8qXlumWDMHmqs-N8LrkRXdoAmxF0E3Mw0FwX0ah5gCzp-M-ESc3rqxXZPD3oyEShhmH5iWidvrkjfdphUVBYM4r5zBalTk5GSJzG/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="556" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZXhktdwpGUHOBX2vS2euAt2aAiH4cJz4O_QM30ieP8qXlumWDMHmqs-N8LrkRXdoAmxF0E3Mw0FwX0ah5gCzp-M-ESc3rqxXZPD3oyEShhmH5iWidvrkjfdphUVBYM4r5zBalTk5GSJzG/s640/006.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Maybe crazy, but I have been drooling over <a href="http://www.jonathanadler.com/Custom-Chippendale-Chair/">Jonathan Adler's Faux-bamboo chippendale chairs</a> for a year now. At $645 a piece they are obviously out of my budget. But then I stumbled upon a real bamboo chippendale set - 4 matching chairs and a table. I offered $80 and it was accepted! And they are almost identical in style to the JA chairs. I couldn't be any more thrilled!!<br /><br />I plan on selling the table. It's beautiful and in great condition but I don't love the idea of a matching set. I also know that I'm going to spray the chairs, and maybe replace the worn cane seats with something upholstered. I won't decide on a colour until I have a room to put them in, but of course I'm thinking about it already.
