chairs dilemma

Do you have a picture of the conference chairs? I can't really imagine anything by the ones we have at work which are old and bobbly!

An alternative could be getting the conference chairs but getting chair covers? Ours are costing us £2.50 each with a double sash, fitted and collected.

I think a picture would help. Plus dont forget that every man pretty much will hang his jacket over the back of his chair as he sits down so they get hidden very quickly?

IMO it really depends on the style and condition of the chairs, if they are in good condition and the colour matches in with the ones you have picked then it might be ok to us them as they are. A picture to show the style would help though.

I had a similar conversation with a friend earlier this week about chairs v chair covers. I would say think about things you've been to and whether you remember what the chairs actually looked like !! Like one of the other posters said guys will hang jackets over their chairs anyway and once everyone has say down I doubt anyone will notice them. Depends on your budget and whether you think the money would or could be used better elsewhere. Have you pics of the chairs so we can see??

Agreed that a photo would help. Also, £4/chair seems really high! The supplier we're using is less than £2/chair, and that's before the trade discount. Are you locked into using one hire company?

Personally I would want chair covers. The chairs we have are also blue conference chairs and they are not pretty, but then the room we are in in also quite conference-y so I need the covers for sure. But £4 just to use different chairs?!

Yes weve got a package agreed now but thanx for your reply ive had quite a few comments from other brides to be with regarding the cost and i do feel its quite high.
