Did you ever find that one thing you were looking for, only to be disappointed by the price tag? I love finding exactly what I want within my price range! It’s such a rush finding a great deal, and I get an insane amount of satisfaction from telling other people about my finds…especially if it helps them save money, too! Case in point: my search for the perfect set of metal dining chairs.
I am in love with metal dining chairs, specifically the Tolix A chair. If you haven’t heard of this chair, you don’t know what you are missing! Here it is, in all of it’s wondrous glory:
These chairs were designed by Xavier Pauchard in 1934. Definitely a timeless classic. The popularity of this model has only increased with the revival of the Tolix company in 2004, so one can imagine that I would not be so in love with the price tag that comes along with this popularity. Getting your hands on an authentic Tolix chair will not require you to ship them over from France, but it will cost you a pretty penny.
Pottery Barn sells the Tolix A in black, white, red, and bare metal for $269 each. Yikes! We wanted 6 of these chairs for our handmade rustic dining table, but with the $60 surcharge ($10 per chair) plus $168 shipping and handling (10% of the order), the total would be over $1800. None of the available choices were even close to the color we wanted! Um, no.
After perusing the interwebs for another source, I discovered Industry West. They sell the Marais A Side Chair for $145 each in a TON of different colors. Better price, but the cost of 6 chairs plus shipping would still cost almost $1000. I’m the queen of deals, people; there is ALWAYS a cheaper price!
At last we come to Restoration Hardware’s Remy Side Chair. These normally sell for $129 each, but I happened to catch them on sale…for $89 a piece! Also, as if the heavens parted and showered me with extra special rays of money-saving goodness, shipping was FREE. Yes, that’s right. F-R-E-E, free. And no surcharges for being an oversized item! Although I had stumbled upon a great deal, I was hesitant to order from RH after reading page after page of horror stories. Items being back-ordered for months without notice, delayed shipments, extraneous credit charges, and damaged furniture…needless to say, not a pretty picture. However, after inspecting said claims, it seemed that most of these issues stemmed from custom items and large pieces of furniture which were shipped via “white glove delivery” (i.e. a crappy third party delivery company). Luckily, these chairs did not require the special delivery service, so I pulled the trigger. I ordered them on a Wednesday, they shipped the following day, and I received them via UPS less than a week later. No back-orders. Quick shipment. Perfect condition. No suspicious credit card charges. Pretty hassle-free, no? I suppose this may be another case of “don’t always believe what you read”, but then again, maybe I just got lucky. I guess we’ll never know!

I’m so glad I found these chairs. Look at how GORGEOUS they look in our dining room!
The best part? A set of 6 chairs plus tax came out to less than $570. Are they the “real deal”? No. However, these are such a close match that I’m still in love. Maybe one day we can get some authentic Tolix chairs, but I’m totally okay with using these in the meantime.
