We've only had one chair that can be placed at a table for um, the past... 6 to 8 years maybe? (Before that we had some unsatisfying chairs that couldn't be painted and had upholstered seat problems which we gave away and/or ripped apart and threw away the pieces sorted into the correct types of trash.) So when I finally bought a stepstool last year it was the third seat that you could sit on in the kitchen (also last year I bought a couple of those knockoff Aalto stools though, to avoid anyone having to sit on the floor). Two years ago my MIL gave us three of those wooden folding chairs that you can put on a balcony or whatever, and we tried to use them in an emergency when we had people over to eat, except that one time my wife sat down on one and it just like... disintegrated...?... literally fell apart in a few pieces, dumping her on the floor in the middle of it. (We still have the other ones, but we kinda stopped considering them as things to do more than gingerly perch on.)
Last weekend we actually bought 3 more wooden chairs that were on clearance because my mother-in-law kinda insisted so now, aged 36 and 43, we finally have 4 (mismatched) chairs.
