26 Cheap (But Expensive-Looking) Chairs You Can Buy on Amazon

We love things that look expensive, and we really love things that look expensive but aren’t (like things for kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms). You can get extremely cheap chairs and extremely expensive ones, but we set ourselves a limit of $150 (or thereabouts, making exceptions for a few that were too good to exclude or sets of chairs that break down to $150 or less per chair). Whether you’re looking to spruce up a dining table, a bar counter, or a living room, any of the options would be a good way to put those overworked Ikea chairs out of their misery.
