Reasonable facsimile?

I love these chairs and I've been looking at them at Thomasville for over a year hoping to catch them on sale. My issue is that they are about $1300 each - covering material choice varies price about $300 upward. I love them but I can't bring myself to pay over $1000 for a single chair. I have been looking for similar chairs and have yet to find any. I have come somewhat close with the Dinesen with older wingback chairs but they just didn't have the same presence and the Dinesen is really my 3rd choice. Any chance you guys have seen something close to the Walden and/or Anson out there somewhere? Oh, for under $1000.
Anson Chair
Walden Chair
Dinesen Chair

Before you purchase your furniture, you want to consider quality to keep from spending money for furniture repairs or furniture restorations. You want to consider your costs, but remember quality furniture will save you money in the long run. Look for chairs with an oak frame. Less expensive chairs have pine frames. Pine breaks more easily and does not last as long as a chair with an oak frame So, save your pennies and buy the best! :)

How do you want to use this chair...to sit in everyday or just as an occasional chair? Check out Target online and Home Decorators online!

Karlean, Thanks for the info. I do ask what kind of wood the furniture is made of. I've had to look some of them up as I've not heard of some of them. I have to find a happy medium between good quality and affordability. Definitely do not want to waste my money, but I can't get myself to pay over $1 grand for a single chair - especially considering the crazy mark up on furniture anyway. I don't think cost is always an indication of the best. I've learned that the hard way. Belle - I liked some of the things I saw on Ashley. Especially the dining room sets which I am in the market for. I will check them out. Thanks for the suggestion. Patsy, it will be an every day chair. If I'm not sitting in it, family and friends will be. I am keeping an eye on Home Decorators ... they have some really good sales. It's a little scary though, buying furniture from online.
