Save or splurge? We check out two kitchen chair options

An old kitchen table can be utterly transformed by changing your chairs — especially if they show it off to best advantage

A much-loved kitchen or dining table can be transformed by a change of chairs, especially if they’re low-backed so the table is on display along with anything served or styled on it. 

High-backed versions offer more comfort for lounging after dinner, but they hide the table and can be cumbersome to move in and out.
