Need help with small dining area
I have fallen in love w cooper chairs and want those use 2 in small dining area. They are available w either Blk or wh leather seat. The scale is right but unsure what kind of table to pair with. Until the chairs was thinking of glass to keep it light. Ideas?

olldbobbi I love these! I'm a big fan of copper. I would go with the black seats and a table something like this: [houzz=

One problem with using a glass table is that usually they come with chrome legs, this one has wooden "legs".

michigammemom Are the chairs comfortable? Also ask the retailer if special care is necessary to maintain the present finish of the copper as it typically will oxidize and take on a green/brown patina.

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design Since you are buying only two of the chairs, what size table are you wanting? Does it need to be square to place against a wall, or will round work? I'd go with a black leather seat.

kanehawk Surprisingly comfortable. Will oxidize slowly but the look enhances.
Likely need small rectangular table. Al. Suggestions appreciated

kanehawk Needs to be against the wall. Thinking 54" expandable would be an option. Someone suggested wood. Possibly mango

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design If you have a 54" table, it may look odd with only 2 chairs. 'When I asked if you were going to place it against a wall, I was envisioning a table for 2 of maybe 24 x 30".

SpiralConeLegs.com The chairs look very modern to me, how about making your own table with our legs?

ATGStores.com Hi, Kanehawk! Your chairs are awesome, and we think they definitely have a mod vibe that might be paired well with a more contemporary table (http://www.atgstores.com/contemporary-modern-dining-tables_1001_s3.html?page=1). We selected a few we thought you may like - including an oval one with a copper pedestal base - but there are lots of options. Hope this gives you some ideas, and good luck!

kanehawk Thanks. Love your suggestions but size not quite right. Have been searching your site and found a few with butterfly extension that might work but wood does not seem as nice as your choices
