Sliding Scale: Galvanized Garden Chairs

I remember first falling in love with the "1934" chair many years ago, in the Sundance catalog (which I inexplicably received at frequent intervals). Over the years, they seemed to pop up now and again, and while I never actually had a place to use them, I felt awfully tempted when they showed up in a Home Decorators Collection catalog for just $99 each. Now, they're officially everywhere: all the major retailers seem to offer their own version. I thought I'd round 'em up, just in case you're interested. (Plus, I think they'd look awesome in my aunt's kitchen; this way, she doesn't need to do the research.)

From most expensive to least:



Design Within Reach, Marais Chair, $250


Sundance, 1934 Chair, $245


Pottery Barn Tolix Cafe Chair, $225 (currently on special for $199)


Crate and Barrel Lyle Chair, $199



Home Decorator's Collection Garden Side Chair, $99

Overstock.com, Silver Tabouret Stacking Chair, $197.99 for a set of 4 (today's price!)


Some of these come in other fun colors, but I still love the classic aluminum. So. Did I miss any? I bet there are more out there....And I'm still partial to the original Sundance version. What's your favorite?

  1. I can't thank you enough for this chair topic.... I was searching high and low for an inexpensive 1930s style galvanized chair to pair with a rustic patio table (long Cedar planks atop 2 steel saw horses)... Your Overstock.com link was the answer! They are perfect. I ordered 8!
