Worth it?/Decor Thoughts: Phillipe Starck Louis ghost chair

Sleek, styling, and versatile, the Phillipe Starck Louis XV ghost chairs are the epitome of modern vintage (they're a modern polycarbonate spin on the original Louis XV chair.)

It even comes in different designs now!

We're looking for a few seating options for the living and dining area and I'm kinda intrigued by these chairs.   They're certainly chic and unique.  But they're not cheap with a retail of $410 (though in furniture shopping, I realize there are few cheap yet quality options),  While it is extremely durable. it also looks like a very nice plastic (so could that really be chic?)

I found a few on Craigslist and may eventually go for it,  If that doesn't work out (since we know sellers aren't always reliable), I may just take the plunge via CSN.

So, what do you think, is this chair worth it?
