My love for rattan bistro seating dates back circa 2007/2008 when my two besties and I were living on the Upper East Side of NYC! We frequented a restaurant bar named Wicker Park on 83rd and 3rd that had classic rattan bistro seating similar to today’s popular Serena & Lily Riviera collection. While having brunch and cocktails (read: O-Bombs) with friends, I just adored kicking back on their chic Parisian navy and white rattan bistro seats.
Anyway, my bestie who knows I’ve been eyeing her Serena & Lily Riviera Counter Stools, but also knows I won’t pay the price, just found me look-a-likes from Target! (Thanks Kiera!) Luckily, these come in dining chairs too, which is actually what I was in the market for! We finally got this kitchen table in white! Well, the chairs came in the mail yesterday, and I have to say I’m impressed!
Although I’ve been yearning for navy and white rattan bistro seating to go with our future dream kitchens white cabinets and navy island, I decided to go with the all white. (The Target version only comes in white or black/white). Currently, our kitchen is brown wood cabinets, earth-tone granite, and beige tile. I only want to buy seating once, so white it is! Good thing white goes with everything!
Review
The chairs are sturdy with each of their legs being triply enforced. I love how they’re wrapped with the woven plastic similar to the more expensive splurge. The woven plastic seating and backing is strong and comfortable! If it wasn’t, I’d be hearing it from my hubby and we’d be returning them. Most of all, I love how they’re kid friendly! I can easily wipe down spills or even hose them off outside, if needed. All in all, I give this Target steal the ultimate seal of approval!
