Well, eating family meals without a dining table couldn't last all that long. I knew it wouldn't, though I can say with gladness that none of us complained or felt distressed by having to eat on the floor, in the living room or at our tiny work table. It's amazing what we can live without and still function well.
That said, we found a great small-business guy on Craigslist and bought a table from him at an astonishingly low price. Granted, it was a store return so it has a few hairline scratches, but I'm so happy to have not bought "new" and support an individual trying to make a living. (He also happens to be a Catholic man who loves the latin mass and has a devotion to St. Peregrine.)
But now I need chairs - we're presently using 3 folding chairs and a step stool. I found this (#1) at a local shop and was able to bring it home to see it next to the table. Call me completely crazy but I love it. If you like your furniture to coordinate perfectly than you won't like this, but I do.
#2 is similar to #1, but cheaper because we have a gift card to this store, making it the most affordable of all the options.

#1 and #2 - I love mismatched! Such character!
I'd say #1 or #2 also. I like the nice lines. #3 & #4 are too wavy for my taste. I like the character in the first one, but the second is very similar like you said and would work nicely if you are concerned about your budget.
#1.
#2 is SUPER! I think the straight lines would look great with your table.
I love #1. #2 would do but #1 has my vote. #2 is too straight for me.
I like #1 the best. Simple yet interesting.
I'd go with #1 or #3.
Either #1 or #2!
I think that #3 and #4 match the heft of the table best. Stylistically, I prefer #1 and #2, but I think they are too delicate for the strong pedestal legs on your table.
Number one, definitely.
I think #3 fits best with the table you have. And they're pretty, too!
I love the looks of #1 and #2, but I am thinking of spills on the pale upholstery. Or would the ones you but have a different covering?
I meant to say "buy," not but!
#1
i like #3 best. :)
I like #1 best and #4 next :)
I think you and I have the same table. :) Ours is a scratch-and-dent item too. I like the clean lines of #1 and #2. If #2 is more affordable, I'd definitely go with that one. I prefer the look of 6 chairs with a rectangular table but I applaud your desire for simplicity. Then again, you have another blessing on the way very soon I hope so maybe 6 chairs isn't all that frivolous?
I like #1, but with that table definitely #3.
I like #3 best too, even if they do need seat covers...the ladderback style reminds me of "old" somehow.
I agree with Melanie...1 or 3. Tough choice, though, they're both gorgeous, you really can't go wrong. Nikki

I love #1 and #3, however, #3 looks best with the table. They remind me of chairs out of Ballard Designs.
#1...definitely!
#3, totally
