I actually have it in my dinning room with the same table, but the salvage brown color one. It looks so different and everyone that walks into my house really love it too. <br />I guess everyone likes something different. Right?

That and "Better tell the kids to stay away from this chair" (if I was crazy enough to purchase it). Sure, it looks nice in a quirky kind of way, but nails sticking out is a huge turn off. Consumers should be extra careful when making their purchases.Kitchen Designhttp://www.thegoodguyskitchens.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439316272064745899.post-87128040270152434142012-05-24T12:27:44.419-05:002012-05-24T12:27:44.419-05:00I totally agree - you can find a more finished cha...I totally agree - you can find a more finished chair on the side of the road for free - and then take of some of the siding and there you have it!

I get their huge catalog as well {& I have purchased a lot in the past}, but I miss COLOR! The catalog looks like all the pics are sepia. Why? Because the colors are so washed out. By page 50 it gets pretty boring. As you pointed out, at least they included some navy some of their recent designs. Some of the pieces just don't speak to me {such as the deconstructed chair}. "Haunted House" just isn't my style! ;D<br /><br />Warmly, MichelleHoney I'm Home Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10507357074954938604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439316272064745899.post-18730325799252118372012-05-19T20:26:03.038-05:002012-05-19T20:26:03.038-05:00Ok I'm going to disagree with you just a littl...Ok I'm going to disagree with you just a little. I kind of like them. Now I wouldn't BUY them but I do have a chair I've been planning to reupholster and I think I just might try to do something like this - just for fun. I love the burlap and the webbing used in upholstery and I like the nails better than the brass headed tacks used to cover up the nails. So call me crazy!!! I just kind of like it - it's different.
