CL find - yay or nay?

[simpsongal]

I've been searching CL for chairs for our formal living room.  I was thinking of going in a botanical direction.  I like crewel work chairs and I found @this chair pictured below (two, $75 each).

WDYT?  Yay or nay?

I like the floral pattern and wing chairs in general.

As it stands, it looks a little lived in- kind of shabby chic with the broken down cushion. Can that be plumped up with a new cushion and batting? Look closely at the wear in the area in the front of the seat; it's possible the threads of the crewelwork are abraded by the level of use that flattened cushion suggests.

I'm hoping I can plump up the cushion or replace it. I emailed the owner and asked if the other chair was in the same condition - I also asked about age.

Tagging @juno and nursecramer for feedback too

I was planning a trip to Pier1 to see some of their chairs in person - maybe this wingback. I guess it's a little brighter and more modern.

I don't love that floral pattern, but if it matches your décor, that's a good price and I bet you can rehab the squished cushions a little.

I am a sucker for wing back chairs. I would bring them home. Granted, I can redo them myself.

Hmmm, I'm wondering if those are just a little too 70s for your house. I think I'd need to see them in person and I'd be prepared to walk away if they're not exactly what I need. Reupholstering those would be expensive unless you can DIY AND have cheap taste in upholstery fabrics.

Hmm, y'all are putting me on the fence.  It would be like a 45 minute drive to see these, and that's precious wainscoting time.  So maybe I'll let them go and look for something else.

I didn't really want orange in the room either.
