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).

Definitely 5!
#3 is simple and comfortable-looking. I hate when there’s nothing to support my back and I feel like I’m going to slip backward through the chair.
But I’m weird. YMMV.
#1 or #3!
I like 5 and 7, assuming they are equally comfortable!
For your space, I love #1, but I’m also feeling #6!
I vote 5, or 9 since it is more practical for clean up.
#5!
3 or 5
#7 gets my vote!
#5 for sure
I like #2 and #7. Make sure they are comfortable and that the legs are not too wide. The pushing in and pulling out factor needs to be tested 🙂 Good luck, so many good choices and love the red!!!
Oh, I vote for #3 – looks timeless.
I love 3 for its timeless look but I can kind of see 5 as well. they look comfortable!
I love #3, the salt chair! We’re going to be remodeling our kitchen soon, and I’m thinking a bold colored chair may need to happen!
2 looks like the perfect blend between modern design and comfy construction, and would go well with your table. Whatever you get, I hope it brings you years of enjoyment!
I love #3, the salt chair!
I love #5!
I vote #3, followed by #5.
I love the look of number 3
#3!
I love #7!
#3
I like #7 the best, and we have it in an aluminum finish; my taste is so traditional, though, that I offer #2 as an alternate choice to stretch myself!
3! They remind me of the chairs we had growing up.
