The formal dining room inDan Pelosi's Upstate, New York, homelooks grand at first glance: The ceilings soar to 11 feet, the wood floors are painted with a harlequin pattern, and a giant paper lantern holds court overhead. But what if we told you the 12 chairs gathered around his extra-long dining table are from IKEA? No catch. No hacks. They're just off-the-shelfBergmund chairs.
"I'm a high-low person. I'm happy to throw IKEA chairs against a really beautiful dining table," our Spring 2025 cover star told us.
In case you missed it, we've been loving all things striped lately, fromcurtainsto Drew Barrymore'slatest lounge chair for Walmart, and Pelosi's seats are no different. There are a few Bergmund styles, ranging frombar stools with exposed legsto partially covered seats, but this fully slipcovered version is the only one available in the black-and-white pattern (it also comes in white).
According to IKEA, the angle between the Bergmund seat and its backrest is optimally engineered for comfy sitting (a win for you and your guests). You also get your choice of a black, oak, or white finish on the solid wood legs. The real kicker, though: one chair is only $135. And afull set of fourplusa dining tablewill only run you $989 total.
Customers rave in the review section that the 100-percent cotton covers are removable and machine-washable—a host's dream. It's certainly a bonus for Pelosi, given his famous vodka "sawce" is a dinner party staple.
