My husband and I decided to get a few new things for our apartment including new dining chairs. I really wanted lucite chairs with bent metal bases but I didn’t want to spend more than $150 per chair (tops!). Well I started my search to no avail. The ghost Stark chairs are great but too expensive and Ebay was enticing but I nearly ended up buying three sets of different chiars that were way too expensive (thank god I got out bid). Then I found the above chair at IKEA. They are perfect - molded acrylic modern seat with the bent metal base and for a mere $84! I was ecstatic. Well- apparently I am not the only one who thought so. There was no stock in the Elizabeth NJ store, Paramus NJ store, or in the Long Island location. I started spending my days obsessively checking stock at those two stores and then calling them to see when stock was to show up. They never new and could promise me nothing. Then one night I had the brain storm to check the New Haven store. They had stock!! But only six so I had to act quickly. The next morning I borrowed my in-laws car and drove and hour and half to get MY chairs. I arrived to find the chairs on display but out of stock! I was foiled again until my friend John (he lives in New Haven and came to the store for a lunch of swedish meatballs) suggested we make a scene. We didn’t do quite that but we did convince them to sell me the floor models, albeit a little scratched. I happily drove the hour and half home with 4 of, what I consider, pretty damn perfect chairs.
