[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would look around some and prioritize Room and Board for the stuff you love that you can't find elsewhere. Also, I think for some things you can mix and match. For instance, we got a table for our eat-in kitchen from Room and Board but we got chairs to go with it from Ikea. [/quote]

Good idea. Just the 6 chairs were costing 2500! Which table did you get? [/quote]

Chairs are so expensive, that they are the one thing I buy almost exclusively on craigslist, consignment stores or etsy. My last dining chairs are a midcentury "named" designer that I got on etsy for $650 for the 6 of them. The kind of style you might expect at R&B.  They are midcentury and not fancy, and needed a little work but are really special pieces now.  Fixing up dining chairs is often easy - in our case, they are metal frame that needed a new spray paint coat ($5 and 15 minutes of my time), new black footpads ($5 on amazon), had original vinyl seats still in good condition but would have been insanely easy to refinish. And then that have a wooden back rest that comes off and someone professionally refinished for $90 for all 6.  Because dining chairs are "updated" very easily with new fabric for less than $100 and a staple gun, this is one area I would never spend "new" money on.  [/quote]
