Basic dining room chairs similar to these for a good price?

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone may know of somewhere that sells chairs similar to these for a cheaper price (Less than $100 each)?

They seem quite basic and I feel like there must be spots that sell them for less - I just don't know what those place are.

Thanks for any help!

We bought these in 2019 IIRC. In the end we bought from Article because we couldnt find anything else.

We paid $169 for 2 and got another 20% and free shipping on a black friday or boxing day sale. Ordered 6 for our kitchen, they are a great chair, kids cant even destroy them.

We looked at these for our dining room, but are they comfortable to sit on for long periods of time?

We've used them in our kitchen (most used chairs) for at least 3 years now and have no complaints. Don't know what's the longest Ive sat in one for, but kids commonly do arts and crafts for hours, and my kid used one as a desk chair for home schooling.

I've for sure sat in less comfortable, more expensive, dining room chairs.

Just a few random points to add:

We use them on tile floor, the legs come to a pretty small point, so I could see potential issues with using them on hardwood. They also probably wouldnt slide at all in carpet, so would have to pick up whenever you tuck yourself in.

They are great to clean, idk how much paint, glitter, food, etc has ended up on them, especially over covid, and after a quick/easy clean they look new.

I had one case where a leg got bent out a shape (just bent a few degrees off of where it should be), probably because one of my kids always leans the chair on 2 legs for hours and hours. I bent it back just by hand, and its been fine.

We got 4 black and 2 pink chairs. Finish has been great on both.

Thanks for the responses and feedback all. We ended up grabbing 6 of the black Structube ones yesterday since they were available at a location not too far. They're not quite as comfy and the back isn't quite as supportive compared to others we sat in there, but we have a 2.5 year old with another on the way, so durability was a significant consideration too. I figure we can always keep an eye out for a deal on some nicer ones, and sell these for a small loss if we find something - but these seemed like a good solution for the immediate.

Keep the allen key handy and tighten up the bolts periodically. They loosen up over time and if you continue to use them with loose fittings, eventually that leads to damage. Otherwise they're a solid chair and do the job. My daughter had one in her room for a number of years.

Perhaps use some Threadlocker as well.
