<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheOLdGuy, post: 99711, member: 878&quot;]All my/our dining room sets were rather formal. Mom &amp; Dad&#039;s; my own; wife and mine - Duncan Phyphe; and the last arrangement. Oddly, all but one were dark. Mahogany?&nbsp; As I recall all had matching chairs. Basically purchased as sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a pic that is really close to all. Though I would not have tolerated the cushion color or fabric for more than a week. And this does not have the requisite two arm chairs.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one that was solely mine (bought used) I did sell to a very nice, cute young couple I met at an antique furniture store. They were looking at some for $3, $4, $5,000 when I brazenly asked the sales lady if they bought antique dining sets. </p><p>The couple met me outside and followed me home. They very happily paid $1,000 +- for mine.</p><p>Needless to say I never dared enter that antique shop again.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, IMHO, if you&#039;re going to do it, do it right. Don&#039;t have regrets. Yes, I&#039;m going to say that oval formal dining table needs formal chairs. Not the ones offered with it. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]25166[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
