So I need your help: After seven years of garden variety family wear and tear, our red dining chairs are just about on their last legs. I get so many comments about them on this blog that I thought you might have some strong opinions about what the next ones should be. Weโre not exactly sure what we want yet, but we know we want them to be red, comfortable, on the modern sideโฆand available in knock-off form (!). Based on this criteria, weโve narrowed it down to the nine you see above. Vote for your favorite in the comment field below and Iโll choose one reader at random to receive a copy of bothย Dinner: A Love Story and, almost hot off the presses:ย Dinner: The Playbook. (When I hit the bigtime, maybe then Iโll be able to offer a full dining set as the giveaway โ and maybe not even the knock-offs.) Your choices:
1. Tolix Chair 2. Globus Chair 3. Salt Chair 4. Thonet Vienna Chair 5. Wishbone Chair 6. Thonet Era Chair 7. Navy Chair 8. Saarinen Tulip Chair 9. Eames Molded Chair.ย
Contest ends Thursday, 8/21 at noon ET. Good luck! UPDATE: The winner (Rosie: #384) has been notified. Thanks for playing everyone!
RIP my beautiful red chairs that are no longer available on the interweb (as far as I can tell).

3 or 4, whichever is more comfortable. Love that youโre keeping your kitchen chairs red.
#3 is my favorite
#4 for sure! It reminds me of French bistro chairs and is a bit more modern than #3 and not as boxy as #7.
i like 3 and 5!
#5! Modern but classic form and comfortable (?) seat.
3 or 5! they look so comfy!!
5! Traditional with a twist
Wouldnโt it be fun to do a mix of different chairs but all red?!
#2 and #3 are my favorite. Look comfortable too.
My vote is for #5 as it looks comfy! I hate sitting on hard chairs.
#2 looks the comfy-ist while #6 looks the sleek-ist. #2 is my vote. I want my friends to be comfortable.
#2 looks the comfy-ist while #6 looks the sleek-ist. #2 is my vote. I want my friends to be comfortable and chic
This is my fourth attempt at a comment (Bad Feedly) so Iโll just say #7 Navy Chair all the way.

#9! Cool, but not too cool, and comfortable, which you need so that everyone wants to stay at the table.
Put me in the #5 camp.
#3
#5; very unique
2 or 6. But theyโre all great choicesโฆ
#3 โ classic and lovely
Iโve just fell in love with your blog,, specially your lists! Congrats on an excellent job!!! Definitely number 6, understated, classic, bright red!
You have to test run (aka, sit in them) before you choose. Meals are too important to suffer in uncomfortable chairs.
