Help me think about how to decorate my piano room

Yes, they do accept returns but you pay for the return shipping. I'm OK with paying a bit for an experiment that didn't turn out. Better than being out the entire cost of the item.

Agreed!

Yes you can, and it works really well.
Are you on a phone/tablet or a computer?
Computer:
Your avatar is in the upper right hand corner. Immediately to the left is a speech bubble. Click on it, and Chats will pop up.
Click All Chats and you get the full Chat Room function on the left side. Click on Create Chat Room and pick the User(s) you want to include in the Chat and then click Create.
Just type your message in. When you hit Enter or click on the arrow to the right, it sends the Chat. You can go back and edit or delete individual chat entries, too.
On a phone/tablet:
It's pretty much the same, except you have to click on your avatar (upper right hand corner) in order for the speech bubble icon to appear. Don't have my iPad right here, but I think it follows the same path that I described above.
If you see a number on the Chat icon, it's telling you how many unread Chats you have. The little bell icon is for Notifications of all sorts, new Chats and whatever else you've asked to be notified about in your User Profile Settings. You can also ask for email notification that you have a new Chat. Or you can turn that off if the emails are intrusive.
Some nice features of Chat are that you can add Users to the Chat after it starts, and people can leave the Chat but come back later. And you can be notified when someone leaves one of your Chats if you choose that in your User Settings. And on, and on...
Lots of functionality available down to the individual User level. Means you don't have to live with defaults set for the entire forum (which I guess is now called a message board).

The only thing I'd be concerned about is the proportions - I am pretty good with picking styles that look right together but I am also admittedly very very bad with scale. I'd study up the measurements of those chairs and make sure they aren't too small or too big for the spot before ordering especially since you will have to pay to return them. At only 28ish inches high, they might be kind of short. How does that compare to your red chair?
-
I thought of one thing...Anyone think the three legged design might be an issue as far as stability is concerned? I mean, this chair will be in one place, not like a dining chair that slides in/out from under a table, but if someone is getting up and pushes back with their legs, will it want to tip backwards?

SK, I know you are a very serious and exacting person, and your taste runs to practicality and utility. That’s cool, in reality I am the same.
But back in the day, a friend used to call my gatherings to play music and drink “Steve en salon. Let’s play with this.

The fainting couch.

@wtg yes I see the notification. Cool!
SK - The size, shape, and placement of those chairs is great. I'm still not so much a fan of the blue - while it does pick up some of the colors in the circle painting, I feel like it's clashy with the rug which to me is the most dominant element in the room. But it may look different in person -- and if you like it, that's all that matters!

The Divan. This one is only $20K on Wayfair, of all places.

@Steve-Miller
(the link you posted in your second post is of a very ornate bed)Back to the chairs...they're cute chairs. Size seems good, they don't overwhelm the space. The blue looks almost black in the photos, so I'm guessing they work with everything else. Generally I like the way they look, though I'm a fan of chairs with arms myself.
The table between the chairs (not that you asked)....hmmm...it seems more like a plant stand, tall and with a very small footprint. I think I'd be looking for something lower and a bit bigger. Looks like there is plenty of space between the chairs.
Try the role-playing experiment and bring a small plate of food and a beverage in there. Times two (one for each person who would sit there). And see if it feels right.

Perhaps something a bit more lighthearted.
The hot dog sofa! Only &8K!

Thanks everyone for all the comments, I really appreciate them!!!
@Steve-Miller I love the fainting couch! If only there was room!!
Ugh, I cannot decide about these chairs... They are super comfy, I love the shape and the size, Although I get @wtg 's concern that there aren't armrests, because of that, they take up less space, which works well. And I love the blue, it looks great with the wall art and the red chair, and the piano... but yeah, I'm not sure they go with the rug...
I think Mr. SK will not be happy if I want to return these though....
Lemme look online... there are very few black velvet chairs, and there are some where the rivets are so shiny, or more insistent, which I don't like...

May I suggest that you wait until you find chairs that “speak to you”?
