Are there any options between an IKEA and an Ekornes? For real people with real budgets?!?!

Just want to say that IKEA does make some pretty nice stuff too (although utilitarian in the sense that the end consumer can pack it away in any car and assemble it themselves, which necessarily means exposed bolts etc). It's not all mega-cheap there.

There’s the Earl chair from Costco that sits right in between in terms of price, and is in the same style. No clue about the quality of it though.

We bought Fjords chairs. They are somewhat less expensive than Ekornes, plus are occasionally discounted by some retailers.

Oslo from Costco. $800 around the holidays.

Looks like $1k currently, with no black, only a couple colors. I know it's significantly cheaper, but I'm curious how it compares. It looks like whoever designed it was only given a brief written description of what they were trying to duplicate.

I have no idea what is trendy anymore, so I was avoiding that, but yeah, they aren't my preference.
