    Of course I would pick out the most expensive chair before I even saw the prices. I love the colour of the Aristides chair.

      I hesitated posting it because of the price, but then reasoned that it was too beautiful not to include!

    We actually have a big orange chair similar to this one. Except our has decorative buttons which makes it look like eyes. It creeps me out!

    I feel there is nothingblahful about the month or today – it’s my bday, haha.

    I love interesting-looking chairs. 1,6, and 9 look so cool, but I wonder if they’re comfortable to sit in?

      Happy Birthday Ashley! Glad you see you have a bright spot this month! I fully believe most of these chairs are style over comfort, but 2, 3 and 5 look to have some comfort in mind!

    I love this article and how you have included different price options. I have been looking at armchairs and ottomans for my flat. My favourite in your article is No. 5…orange is a great colour for chasing those winter blahs away too!

      Yep, it’s a very citrusy-bright hue, love it!

      It is definitely one of the favourites! Can totally picture it in a loft or modern office space.

    I’d kill for #2! But I’d have to rob a bank first…. LoL
    Going to check out Home Depot for #7 though! I want to see the colors in person.I’m looking for a grey/purple striped chair. Thanks for posting

    I like #1! I need a new rocker/glider for baby #3′s room, and I’ve been looking around. That looks stylish and comfy. Although it might squish little feet and be a pain without armrests. I’m going to drop into EQ3 with the kids to test it out!

    • Lena
      February 21, 2013 at 9:22 pm #

      Did you have a chance to drop in yet Janice? I’m very curious to know how it feels in real life! Hope it’s as comfy as it looks!

    I was just thinking about adding a chair like this, I have a two couch set, both boring beige and I need to add some colour to the room. the orange one #5 is my favorite.

    • Lena
      February 21, 2013 at 9:24 pm #

      It’s a great piece! I love accent chairs for splashes of colour into otherwise muted rooms.

    that rocker looks cool but i imagine it would be awkward and uncomfortable to sit in lol.

    • Lena
      February 27, 2013 at 2:50 pm #

      Hahaha – some will just need to go test it out!

    I love the Arturo Lounge Chair but the price tag is waaaaay out of my range

    • Lena
      March 3, 2013 at 10:42 pm #

      You’re not alone, Myra! I think it’s out of a lot of price ranges :)

    Number 3 & 5 look the most comfortable to me. Though I’m not sure I could live with an orange chair.

    • Lena
      March 10, 2013 at 1:42 pm #

      But I adore the orange! You just need to find a sunny spot for it :)
