Shabby Chic Chairs – you’d better shop around!

Chair, originally uploaded by Andyrob.

I’ve seen variations on this chair all over the place in London recently. They are mostly gorgeous :-) But, what has really caught my eye, is the wildly differing prices being asked for them.
I’ve seen them as low as £160 and as much as £295. Now this was for what is pretty much, as far as I can see, the same chair. I suppose it could be the fabric that’s making the difference but I’m far more inclined to believe that it’s the massive overheads some shops are paying in more desirable parts of the capital.
It really is a case of “Buyer Beware” as I certainly don’t want to waste my cash paying for a prestige shopping experience!
The same holds true when you are buying online. You really need to shop around and check lots of different sites before you buy. It’s just too annoying when you realise you could have saved yourself enough to buy another gorgeous thing if you’d just taken your time!
BTW I’m still on the hunt for that perfect chair so do let me know if you see something you think I might like :-)
