Dear All,
These 2 chairs and 1 ottoman were recently donated to the local charity store. They have no labels that I can find. The metal looks to be chrome, and the fabric is tired. One chair has a higher back. They are quite heavy. I really have no use for them...unless you folks think that I should find a good use for them. I appreciate any guidance.
Best,
Your clueless Aunt Mark

Thanks jerry.
another shot (sorry about the poor quality). And are you sure that they are Milo Baughman? I wonder why the pieces aren't labeled?
Thanks so much, maybe I should go over and but them. Hopefully they are free of bedbugs.

ps I think that the 3 pieces were around $700USD. Too much?
(edited because I'm stupid).

Bottom line, Mark,
(and you know this already) if they're well-crafted, comfortable, and speak to you in that special way, what's a measly 7 C's?
FWIW, I think the look is entirely appropriate for your place. Especially if they're destined to take the place of that abominable treadmill.

Question about the metals...
are Baughman's pieces made from solid or tubular steel? I'm just considering the fact that most quality metal chairs are soild metal such as the Mies Bruno chairs.

I can't see...
how you can not look classy sitting in that chair. Wonderful piece. The chair that I have I'm suspecting isn't a Baughman as it is made with tubular steel and the welds on the connectors looks rather sloppy.
