With or without chairs - poll?

So I have a very small dining room. When we moved from our co-op we just kept our small set. 4 chairs and table, the table does have 2 layers and pulls out to hold 10. I was at homegoods and found these great chairs on sale from $200 each to $50 each! I got them and can't decide if I want to keep them. I think I do really like them but torn if it makes room look to crowded. My mom thinks it grounds the room at makes it look more like a formal room., Thoughts? TIA!

I really don't think they match the style of your furniture or the room. Your table/chairs is fairly modern, clean lines and the chairs are very traditional and busy.

I love those chairs but I don't know how well they go with the table.. Is there anywhere else in the house they can go?

I like the concept you are going for. I don't think those chairs match your table and the rest of the furniting. I would look for "similar' chair but matching wood to the table and a different print.

I agree with everyone else. Like the concept, but they just don't go with your table and chairs.

The chairs are really pretty though. Chat Icon

The table is kind of modern, so I think you need a more modern chair for the set.

I agree-I really like the chairs, but not with the set you have.

Love the chairs. Maybe if you put white chair covers on the other chairs. You can also paint the table and other chairs.Chat Icon

I like the chairs but they don't really fit the rest of your set and look a bit too big for the set.

I think that getting other chairs would be totally fine for the room and it would round out the look.

I agree that the chairs are too big. I think the idea is cool but maybe something more tailored and streamlined with a modern fabric
