Need a durable comfortable ergonomic styled chair that will handle someone 6' to 6'4" and weight range of 300-400#. Most offerings will not handle someone of this size, either they do not sit well (don't fit the body and proportions) or do not hold up (busted within a month or two). The two chairs shown look quite like a decorating statement, but no way would they hold up to someone of perhaps taller than 5'10" and weighing more than 180#....

Yes, JudyG that's exactly the way people were using the taller table. Sort of a café look, or casual bar setting. One home had a beautiful huge kitchen all done in white with dark wood floors and RH style fixtures and hardware. Where you would normally think would be a traditional dining room, they had made it up with a large high table and 6 barstools. It almost looked like an extension of the island. Another one was in a very open and light kitchen. It was smaller and where you might think of putting a breakfast nook they had a round café-style table with four barstools. I liked it because it gave a more casual appearance. If people were sitting at them, they were on the same level as those working in the kitchen. Almost like a bar at the island for that effect, but with some separation.

Hello Sarina, Love the chair style and the natural look. If you decide to buy them as shown here and you still want to stain them, be sure to find out what the wood is and what the existing finish is on them. Then consult your local paint store to advise you on the correct product to use and how to use it. Good Luck!

It posted! So it looks like you might have enough room for a small sofa. Here is a small curved sectional that could work in this space. You could add two chairs facing the sofa as well: http://www.wayfair.com/Piedmont-Furniture-Lucy-2-Piece-Sectional-DQPG1047.html Or a black leather love seat ( and two or three chairs facing it): http://www.wayfair.com/Flash-Furniture-Hercules-Imperial-Series-Leather-Love-Seat-FFC1995.html Some awesome club chairs : http://www.cymax.com/Coaster-Accent-Chair-in-Bird-and-Branch-Pattern-460406.htm http://www.wayfair.com/Monarch-Specialties-Inc.-Vintage-French-Fabric-Arm-Chair-and-Ottoman-I-8058-MNQ2448.html and I know you have black and white as your colors but know that you can add some color with pillows or even with some chairs - red, purple. yellow or orange would be fun.
