Dining Room Chairs...yes or no, suggestions?

[stellarose]

I finished painting my dining room and we are almost finished with building our dining room table.  I feel like we need to start over on the top part because as much as we looked for straight boards, they are pretty warped.  We are going to try to plane them and see how much that helps.  Then I need to stain it and find chairs and a rug.

Target chairs are buy one set and get the next 50% off.  I want at least six chairs sitting around the table.  We are building extensions into the table and I would like the ability to seat 8 if needed, but will probably use folding chairs for those last two chairs.  I also am deciding between getting 6 matching chairs or get 4 matching and the two end or head of table chairs would be a different style.  Thoughts?

What do you think about the chairs below?  Eventually I want to update the light and would love to do ceiling tiles, but that either won't happen or will be much farther down the road.  I have no idea about a rug yet.

Here is the stain I am wanting to replicate:



Here are the chairs I have found in the color I would purchase:

i like those chairs with the table you have designed and the planned stain.

[seriously]

I like those alot. And wow, making your own table, very impressive!
(also I've been stalking homedecorators.com and they are currently running a special on all their dining, just in case you wanted to check other options. I think it's free shipping and 10% off)

Um, yes, I love any suggestions! Thank you!

Any thoughts on 6 matching chairs or 4 matching and then 2 head table chairs at each end in a different style?

Wow I'd love to make my own table!

I do like the chairs you posted, but are they goi ng to be too wide to fit tucked into the table?

I'm not sure about having two different style chairs. I've seen it look good before, I'm just not sure if I'm cool enough to pull that off haha. I guess it would depend on what you were planning to get to go with the others you posted.

I like all chairs to be the same. I think chairs with armrests are a pain to fit around a table. That has nothing to do with your particular style of table and chairs, though, so I don't know if it is relevant.

I like the look of mix and match chairs. I'd do it.

I do like the ones you posted as long as they fit. Also, have you seen them in person. I swear my Target had those out on display and they're not as pretty to me in real life at all. If you like them, great, just wanted to give you something to think about.

I like mix and match chairs. I have two different chairs at the ends of my table because I got really bored with my set and didn't want to replace the whole thing. I got some really cute chairs at Pier 1

Yeah I am iffy on the Target chairs since I can't see them first. I actually like the idea of doing the Winged chairs at the end and something sleeker for the side chairs. I found another on Target, but I don't think the fabrics match. I guess I'll keep looking. I wanted to take advantage of the sale, but I would rather see something first.

Thanks for your advice!

Another vote for six matching chairs.
