classic chairs and cubed design

ADS
i've been meaning to share this tag sale find with you...i apologize for my cat's rudeness in this picture, but it was the only one i had to show you the profile of the chair. i think i've determined that they're midcentury cube style chairs, probably from the 60's, though if anyone has a better estimate, i'd love to hear it.

i bought them from a woman who appeared to be moving out of a home she'd lived in forever, and these were her dining room chairs at one point. she had six of them, and wanted $6 for the set. yes - $1 each. obvi, i handed over my $6 immediately, afraid she'd realize she was giving away vintage goodness.

as you can see, the seat part of the chair is worn, so at some point, i want to have just the center columns recovered in a cool faux cowhide or something like that. other than that, the chairs are in great shape and in storage waiting for the right moment to use them.

full disclosure: since after i almost gave up while getting just two of the chairs into the car, i knew mitchell would kill me for taking six. i didn't have the heart to ask for my $4 back, so i actually paid a whooping $3 per chair.
