These are the prices in Westen australia:

Of course the nice ones are worth more.
I think what I got being hand made, carved etc would be worth quite abit more than what we paid.
The cushions - she got made, they are loose. In fact I am going to replace them as soon as I figure out which fabric/colour I like to go with it.

I feel your pain with the puppy eating your last dining suite!! We always have 3 dogs (when one passes on we end up with a new one) so at some point I always have a puppy in the house. I have had more kitchen tables & chairs eaten than I care to count so my last set I purchased is all metal!! It came with a glass top table which I hated so the hubby made me a nice wood top! No more chewed legs on this set!!  ;D

Queen Anne used cabriolet style legs which is aka Queen Anne style.  (resembles a double curve of an animals leg!)
Just another variation of it.  This one isn't as curved!

Thanks princess.  I know prices are higher most places...we are pretty spoiled here. 

And smaller foot !!
