2. A set of solid ash chairs that look like they’re coming straight out of Architectural Digest magazine. The stunning finish of natural wood grain and rattan gives the perfect earthy, boho feel that’ll really open up a space.
Promising review: “Very pleased with these. I bought six of these chairs to go around my dining room table. They arrive completely assembled, so you just have to unpack the chair. They are real wood and already have felt on the bottom of each leg which is a nice touch. They look beautiful and are very sturdy and comfortable to sit in. Shipping was pretty fast, each chair comes in it’s own box so each shipped with their own tracking number but all arrived together.” —MotherOfCats
