Shirleevee, I think Stickley has acquired Nichols and Stone. The chairs, which I bought on sale 5 years ago, are wonderfully comfortable. The advertising at the time, I think said something to the effect of "so comfortable that your dinner guests will not want to get up from the table." They are big, sturdy ladderbacks. (the chairs not the guests)
I hope Stickley lets Nichols and Stone continues its tradition. It is getting more and more difficult to find American-made furniture.
GG, thank you for the information. I would never take a paint brush to the good stuff, but I am ready to give these other ones I was talking about a try. I will probably make a mess though, like I usually do when attempting a project like that. And I will no doubt find that I would have been better off just going to that sale.
