6 Emeco’s for $340

In case you didn’t already hear the news, I just picked up 6 Emeco 1006 chairs from Craig’s List. The original listing said it was 4 for $250 or $70 each. I placed the call and found out that John really had 6 for sale. I offered him $340 for all 6 and he was kind enough to agree. That’s just over $55 each, normal pricing is $395 for one. I almost feel guilty for picking them up that cheap. Luckily John got them for cheap himself from a bar in Reno that was closing. He didn’t tell me what he paid for them, but I got the idea that he wasn’t really loosing money on them. They really are great chairs, light, bombproof, comfortable with timeless style. We don’t have a place for them yet, but it has spurred us to get going on our kitchen remodel so we can actually have a dinning room table to accommodate them. If your looking for more good deals on local stuff, see the post above, or challenge Melissa to find you something good.

Thanks again to all the GRM readers that contribute!

deal of the century! unbelievable. I’ve wanted some emeco chairs for years, but have a stainless dining room table and am worried they would look like too much metal. I love they way they look around a wood table though. There is never never ever anything remotely good on craigslist in my town…

They are just absolutely the best chair ever. Once I feel I am settled semi-permanently I am picking myself up some of those lovelies, and then willing them to someone I really like.

what a steal! a friend just gave me her emeco bar stool for free. i have absolutely no use for a bar stool, especially considering that i have a toddler who likes to climb…and i don’t have a bar…nor do i drink, for that matter. but what the heck! it’s emeco!

ctiare,
if you ever feel like getting rid of the stool, i’d be happy to take it off your hands and away from your toddler’s climbing legs.

Color me seriously jealous, even though I have absolutely nowhere to put any more chairs.

Those are such a find. I’m on a strict No More Furniture diet until we move to another place.

I’m SO jealous! We’ve been wanting chairs like those for a long time! But we’re moving on. Way too expensive…
