I have this color-scheme. My chair's legs, however, are chrome. I've had the chair at least five years. I sit at my desk, which is an Eames Desk, as below. I guess, since I sit at this desk every day on that chair, both of these get equal use. I bought the desk right after I moved in here, so in 2005. To be honest it is kind of beat up.
Anyway, about a month ago, two of the bolts holding the legs on the chair broke. I paid Pedro who works in this building to fix it. He fixed it yesterday.
Prior to getting the Swag-Leg Chair fixed, I had been using a Vitra Visavis chair, by Antonio Citterio. This is my favorite chair. I have six of them. I bought them on ebay from a place in Houston, which had bought a bunch of them when Enron liquidated. I love the design, and they are comfortable. I don't have a dining room table, though. I meant them to be dining room chairs. The backs are somewhat scratched up, and I don't like the blue upholstery on the seats. One day I'll get that changed.
This may be the actual color of my seats. But these are the chairs. I love these chairs but they are too low for desk chairs.
Actually, I found a picture of what pretty much my chairs looks like, from a web site called Metro Retro Furniture. Which is the store from where I bought them.
