Any recommendations on where to buy some black dining chairs? I bought two sets of these

http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Slat-Black-Rubberwood-Dining-Chairs-Set-of-4/5206391/product.html

They are terrible. One chair has already split and another one is about to also split. They can easily be knocked over I'm afraid one of my kids will push back too fast from the table and go tumbling down.

I am looking for a simple design, something sturdy and hopefully doesn't break the bank too much. Obviously, I got what I paid for. I will need to buy 8 chairs.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

We bought some for our ILs from Costco (online). They've only used them a month, but so far so good. At least with Costco, I can return them if they are crap.

ETA: we bought our dining chairs from Pier 1 6.5 years ago, and they have held up really well.

I bought a set of these chairs from Target when DD was born because I needed something with a flat wooden seat to strap her booster onto (our dining room set has antique chairs with upholstered seats): http://www.target.com/p/avington-dining-chair-dark-tobacco-set-of-2/-/A-10766097

LOVE THEM. The color is beautiful and the chairs are SOLID. One chair has her booster seat attached to it and the other sits in a corner, but gets pulled into the kitchen occasionally for DD (now almost 2!) to stand on and watch/"help" mommy cook. ;)

They also come in black! http://www.target.com/p/avington-dining-chair-black-set-of-2/-/A-13505358

Similarly, these ones are slightly cheaper, look more like the chairs you originally linked, and are highly reviewed: http://www.target.com/p/american-simplicity-oslo-side-chair-black-set-of-2/-/A-10099398

Ikea? We bought our kitchen chairs there.
