I recently acquired two mid-century side chairs. They are in excellent condition (could stand to be reglued) and the vinyl is amazingly perfect but needs to be cleaned. The tag says "United Chair Co. Leeds Al." so I don't think they are Rison but have no idea. Any help in the designer, style or age would be appreciated. (Sorry about the poor pic quality. I took them early in the morning with a cheapy camera.

I'm not sure what you need id...
I'm not sure what you need identified here? They were made by United Chair Company, that's pretty much identified. These are pretty common office chairs of the period, (edit: When I say period I'm going to guessimate anywhere from 1965 to 1978) they still have very similar ones in use at one of the county libraries in my area.
United Chair isn't known for having a slew of famous designers working for them so I don't think you will ever associate a specific designer with your chair.
You can contact the company itself to see if they can provide you with more information but I wouldn't hold my breath.
