We made the decision and the Kai Kristiansen chairs are here to stay! Their angled legs and recessed backs complement the elegant base and brass finish of our Barbera table. Not to mention the fact that they're uber comfortable and period appropriate for our home. Now there's a clear balance between the kitchen's modern renovation and our home's authentic mid-century design. Take a look:

Many thanks to the readers who expressed their opinions on the chairs. I really enjoyed reading all the comments!
