It could work! Really depends on the table, the color, the style and if they are in really good shape. I have seen it done and it looked great but I can also imagine it looking terrible. You would have to try harder with wicker than just a regular dinette set.
A little imagination - go for it!! It's definitely original.

1. Flat head Screwdriver 2. Staple Gun 3. 3/8' and 1/2" staples for that gun 4. small pliers (needle nose or regular ones) 5. Enough fabric to cover the chairs plus at least 3" for under the seat to attach it...(You will cut off any excess...yes waste, but if you do it too short...the first time...you waste time, and more fabric correcting the mistake 6. quilt batting (this will go over the existing cushion and the decorator or outer fabric will hold to it and this provides more cushion and bulk and prevents slipping of the Top fabric, also helps to cover the hard corners to prevent holes in the outer fabric. (Has many uses) The outer fabric will hide this as you cut this just big enough to cover the top, sides and maybe 1 1/2" for underneath the cushion. I have recovered my chairs with only a flat head screwdriver (to pull off or loosen the staples holding the present fabric) Needle nose pliers to pull out the staples. A good staple gun (not a NAIL gun) staples about 3/8' to 1/2" and this depends on the type of chair. I would get both to save a trip to the Hardware store later.And the other things I mentioned above...I hope I didn't leave anything out...I dont think so...(2 weekends ago I completely re-did 2 patio chairs seat and the back with new wood, Foam, Fabric, and covered them in clear Vinyl....They look great... Good Luck...it isn't hard..just take your time and measure 2-3 times writing down the measurements, and don't forget to add the underneath amount....

It very much depends on the surrounding furniture. I don't think wicker chairs would look right with, forinstance, a charry dining table. So long as they blend with what's around them, go for it.

the size may be too large...can you put 4 or more around your table? The outdoor type are typically arm chairs which will reduce the number of chairs that will go around a indoor table.

I have no problem with it. I have one in my bedroom. How do you feel about it and why do you care what others think? It's your home.
