The magic of the Rimforsa kitchen island (or "work bench" if you're butch) is that, space permitting, it can transform a crappy kitchen. If you, like me, inhabit a mediocre rental unit with cooking aspirations that yearn for vast slabs of Verde Alpi serpentine and custom Plain English cabinetry, the addition of 47x26 inches of countertop and several tiers is liberating.
This new-to-me dining chair truly deserves its place in the spotlight; it looks shockingly chic for its budget-friendly price tag. It reminds me of certain iconic Scandinavian designer chairs that typically cost at least five to six times more. The appeal of those chairs, apart from the visual intrigue of their design, is really timelessness and quality - and for just $125 apiece, the SKANSNÄS chairs offer the same.
