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. We’re not exactly sure what we want yet, but we know we want them to be red, comfortable, on the modern side…and available in knock-off form (!). Based on this criteria, we’ve narrowed it down to the nine you see above. Vote for your favorite in the comment field below and I’ll choose one reader at random to receive a copy of both Dinner: A Love Story and, almost hot off the presses: Dinner: The Playbook. (When I hit the bigtime, maybe then I’ll be able to offer a full dining set as the giveaway — 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.
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).

5!
Love your red chairs! I’m going to be boring here but I like #3 and #7.
Without a doubt, #5, the Wishbone chair would look great at your table!
salt chair for the win!
5!
3 or 5!
I’m with Tarah – but I call it ‘classic’ instead of boring 🙂 #3 and #7 are the best!!
#3 Salt Chair- looks like it’s the most comfortable and classic
Just bought chairs similar to 3 but my kids wish I had bought 8.
#5 Wishbone! They look the most comfy and a little untraditional.
#3 Salt chair! I love the look of eames chairs and have a couple myself but they are uncomfortable unless you are sitting all the way back, I like the option to sit on the edge of my seat 😉
I think 2,5, and 9 are the closest in flavor to the chairs you have, and would all be fantastic at that table. I love all three of them nearly equally, but if pressed I would say 5 is my favorite of those three. At least in this moment.
#3!
I like #3
I like #3 or #5, but no joke… I actually thought #8 was a wineglass before I clicked through from my feedly account.
I like #7, the Navy Chair!
I like 2, 5, and 8!
Chair #3 – classic but the straight lines and red color modernize this chair!
5-wishbone
They look the most comfortable.
Number 9
I want to be more modern, but I can’t get over how classic #3 is. Love.
I recently came extremely close recently to replacing our kitchen chairs with #4 in red but for your table I think I would also opt for #5.
1! 🙂
I like #2…looks both modern and comfortable.
#6, or two #8 and two #9. Have a great day!
