Waited 3 years to pull the trigger on this, ended up getting the Lounge II from Crate and Barrel, quality and warranty is there. Have a couple West Elm pieces and feel they are fairly mid grade.

We have the same couch in a dark brown tweed-like material. Has taken everything thrown at it by 3 kids under 5. Had the couch for 4 years.

For people liking the Structube/EQ3/WestElm style, stop by some of the Vintage furniture stores and take a look at the used authentic pieces that these stores carry.
-Louche Mileau
-Bex Vintage
-Reclaim Vintage

Or if you aren't in a rush and have extra time, troll kijiji or random garage/estate sales and then have the chairs/tables etc refinished on your own. At tjhe end of the day you will end up with something that is 100x better quality that purchasing through any of those stores. (Most of the mid century modern stuff there has already lasted 50-60 years!)

After all the options we looked at, we found something from The Bay that we felt was 'good enough for now' with the look, size, comfort and price we were very happy with.

And thank God we got it on the weekend because it was 50% off. And we managed to get an additional 10% off with $75 installed delivery (up condo with no elevator = hell yes installed).

Dining room chairs - Still looking, will probably have to wait for the table to actually arrive to see what looks good. Not looking forward to buying 6X chairs which will probably cost more than the table.

Probably the last place you'd think to look but when we stumbled across these when we were looking for chairs to go with our new table we had to at least give them a shot:

Bought 2 to try, bought 2 more immediately after, then decided on 2 more for when guests are over. Comfy, look great with our table, very light to move and easy to clean. The best price was a 2 pack for $99. Might not fit your decor but I figured it couldn't hurt to throw this out there for you. Comes in black too. We've been using them for 2-3 years now, still good as new.

Thanks - I actually have those exact chairs in bar-height haha. They are not bad at all for the price.

We're going to wait until the table is in the house so we can better judge what chairs will look good with it, which I am still terrible at haha - usually we just do what the store employee tells us if they seem like they know what they're talking about.

I think there's a decent chance we just buy something cheap (like you posted) for now, and wait until the perfect chairs come along.
