Jeremy spotted these chairs on Craigslist yesterday just minutes after they were posted. They were listed at $40 for the pair. I was the first person to call on them and told the buyer that I definitely wanted them.

The seller warned me that they're a little worse for wear and shouldn't go to a home with children and unless I'm a "little flower" and all my friends are "little flowers" they probably shouldn't even be sat in. I told her that was fine. That I'd probably stare at them more than I would actually sit in them.

By the time Jeremy went to pick the chairs up the woman had had 18 calls on them. A man even called her while Jeremy was buying them and told her to pass along his number to Jeremy in case he wanted to resell them but "probably knew what he had" and would hang on to them for dear life.

The problem is... we don't really know what we have. There is no designer stamp or tag.

I sent a photo to our friend that sold us the H-W dining set and he said:
"They look to be Plycraft designed by George Mulhauser. Very nice find.
Valued at around $400-600."

Though, I'm not entirely sure that they are after looking through some photos online. Either way, I love them, beat up and all - designer or not.
