If you want farmhouse X-back chairs but don't need a full dining set, the Boraam Jamestown Dining Chairs (white, set of 2) at Target are a low-commitment way to get the look. They're $136.99 for the pair, roughly $68 a chair.

They aren't for everyone. Below is what you get, who they suit, who should skip them, and what to check before you order.
First, the price: $136.99 is the regular price
Target lists the set of two at $136.99, which is the same as its regular price. That works out to about $68 a chair.
The value here is convenience and style at a budget tier. You can buy just two farmhouse-style chairs instead of committing to a table-and-chairs bundle.
What you get: two X-back chairs with a whitewash finish
- Quantity: Set of 2 dining chairs
- Style: Farmhouse and cottage-inspired, classic X-back
- Seat: Contoured, armless, non-upholstered
- Finish: Whitewash
- Materials: MDF (medium-density fiberboard) and solid wood
- Assembly: Required (adult assembly); tools and hardware included
- Listed size (per chair): 37 in. H x 18 in. W x 21.5 in. D, with an 18.25 in. seat height
- Listed capacity: 300 lb per chair, according to the product Q&A
- Warranty: Limited 90-day warranty, per Target
Who these chairs are a good fit for
- Style-first shoppers who want a farmhouse or cottage look in a kitchen or dining room.
- People who only need two chairs. They work for filling out an existing table, adding occasional seating, or furnishing a small dining nook.
- Budget-minded buyers who are fine with MDF-and-wood construction at this price.
- Households that prefer a wipe-clean, non-upholstered seat over fabric.
- Buyers who already have a whitewash or light-toned table and are willing to check the finish in person or through customer photos.
Who should skip them
- You want all-solid-wood furniture. These are MDF and solid wood.
- You need a precise finish match. At least one reviewer said the white looked different in person than in the photos.
- You want long-sit comfort out of the box. The chairs are armless with no padding.
- You want a long warranty or certifications. Target lists a limited 90-day warranty and no industry or government certifications.
- You'd rather not assemble anything. Adult assembly is required.
- You rely on reviews to decide. There are very few to go on.
The reviews: a low rating from a very small sample
Target shows a rating of roughly 2.75 to 2.8 out of 5 from only four ratings. That's a low score, and also too few reviews to say much about how most buyers feel. Ratings may change as more people weigh in, so check the current score on the listing.
The clearest specific complaint is about the finish, covered next.
The finish risk: bright white, or warmer and yellower than the photos?
One reviewer said the chairs looked like a dirtier white or yellow in person, rather than the grayer tone shown in the product photos. Whitewash finishes can vary in how they read under different lighting, so don't count on a bright white or an exact match to the images.
If color matters to you, look at customer photos on the listing and review Target's current return policy before you buy. Also keep in mind that white finishes may show dirt or wear more easily.
Construction and comfort: MDF plus solid wood, armless, no upholstery
The chairs combine MDF with solid wood. The contoured seat is the only shaping, since there are no arms and no padding.
If you plan to sit for long dinners or work sessions, consider adding seat cushions. Cushions are an optional add-on, and they won't necessarily make the chairs comfortable for long stretches.
Before you buy: check dimensions, seat height, and table fit
Target lists each chair at 37 in. H x 18 in. W x 21.5 in. D, with an 18.25 in. seat height. Confirm these figures on the live listing, then:
- Measure your table height and the clearance under any apron, and compare it with the 18.25 in. seat height.
- Check the width. Make sure two 18 in.-wide chairs fit along your table with comfortable elbow room.
- Allow for depth. Leave room to pull the 21.5 in.-deep chairs out from the table.
- Don't assume a match. If you're pairing them with a Jamestown table or bench, verify the finish and sizing yourself. Target's listing doesn't confirm compatibility.
Assembly, capacity, and warranty at a glance
- Assembly: Adult assembly required; tools and hardware included
- Capacity: 300 lb per chair (per Target's product Q&A)
- Warranty: Limited 90-day warranty (per Target)
- Certifications: None listed
These details come from Target's listing and haven't been independently verified.
Alternatives to compare
- Boraam Jamestown 7-piece dining set: Six chairs plus a table. Target describes it as MDF and solid wood with a whitewash finish. It's worth a look if you're furnishing a whole dining area.
- Boraam Jamestown 48-inch dining bench: A bench-based option if you want farmhouse seating along one side of the table.
- Glenwillow Home Double X-Back Solid Wood Dining Chairs (white, set of 2): An option for shoppers who specifically want solid-wood construction.
Bottom line: a low-commitment style pick, best bought with the return policy in mind
The Boraam Jamestown chairs give you a farmhouse X-back look for $136.99 a pair, without committing to a full set. The trade-offs are MDF-and-wood construction, a short listed warranty, no padding, and a low rating from just four reviews. The finish may also look warmer than the photos.
If the look fits your space, check the current price, customer finish photos, and Target's return policy at Target. Compare against the solid-wood Glenwillow set or the Jamestown 7-piece set first. If you're not in a hurry, you can also watch for a Target promotion or Target Circle offer, though there's no guarantee one will apply.
