Boy do we love furniture, and by “we love” I mean the United States. Otherwise, retailers like Best Buy, Walmart or even Costco would not dedicate a large part of their warehouses to arranging furniture, but I have personally had very good experiences shopping at Target because, although it may seem hard to believe, it is a great place to buy furniture at good prices yet with good quality (both things can cohabit).
We recently had an Airbnb apartment that we were asked to decorate, and the budget wasn’t too big, just a couple of thousand dollars for decorations and a few pieces of furniture. So, we had to get creative. And we went to Target, and it was all joy when we needed to buy the four chairs for the dining room table. We found a 2-pack of chairs for an absurdly low price, which is apparently exclusive to Target, and they blew us away.
2-Pack Modern Chairs by Threshold x Studio McGee
The first thing we had to define was the style that the short-term rental apartment’s design line carried, and we decided that mid-century modern was perfect for the type of guests the apartment owner wanted to attract. We had found almost everything except the dining room chairs (the table was a flea market find, classic, sturdy, solid) and we adapted it to modern color trends with the selected pallete.
Then, when we found these 2-pack modern chairs by Threshold x Studio McGee at Target, we were stunned by how beautiful they were. They are created with a contemporary and refined spirit, a small delight for the senses due to their elegant cream-colored upholstery that wraps both the seat and the backrest, ideal for the warm atmosphere and the air of sober and discreet, but noticeable luxury.
Natural Wood and Cream Tones — Mid-Century Modern Style Chairs From Target
The natural wood frame, complemented by lacquered metal hardware, adds an organic touch that perfectly balances the softness of the cream-colored textile, creating a visual synergy that not only impresses, but also invites you to sit down and enjoy a family dinner. The combination of textures and materials makes these chairs become the center of attention in any dining room, providing both comfort and style in a single piece.
The detail of the asymmetry in the position of the legs is very interesting: the two front legs are positioned in the corners, like a standard chair, but the two at the back are more in the center and, in fact, are two pieces of rubberwood (the wood used throughout the chair) that make up both the legs and the backrest. Every detail has been designed by the expert furniture makers at Studio McGee for those who want to transform their space into an ode to good taste.
Measurements and Prices of the 2PK Modern Upholstered Wood Dining Chair Cream
Each pack of two chairs has a price of $180 at Target, and we bought two packs because the Airbnb apartment that we were asked to remodel and prepare to receive tourists is for 4 people. In total we spent $360, a real bargain to complete a dining table.
The overall dimensions are 32 Inches (H) x 18 inches (W) x 22 inches (D), while the seat dimensions are 18 Inches [W], 17 inches [D], & 18 inches [floor to seat top]. Each chair supports up to 250 pounds of weight. These chairs are not only for decoration but, if you buy them, I assure you that you will want to use them every day because they are so cute and so comfortable that they invite you to sit down for a while to enjoy the good life.
