We absolutely love (emphasis added) Chilton Furniture. Their work is gorgeous, and their service is impeccable. You have to be patient, as they create their pieces to order. But, for us, the wait is an important part of the process, as we have learned that they actually are building something beautiful just for us. Their pieces are elegant and comfortable. In addition to fabulous dining room chairs, we bought 4 kitchen stools, one for each grandchild, and we predict that the now-little ones will be using those stools long after we leave the planet. Yes, we believe that the stools will endure because their style is timeless and their construction rock-solid.
