Meghan Markle shared a glimpse into her family's Halloween preparations with a video posted to her Instagram on Sunday, and we spotted a familiar piece of furniture in the background. As the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry carved pumpkins in their Montecito backyard with their children and Meghan's mother Doria Ragland, we spotted six white oak Jenni Kayne Montecito dining chairs arranged around an outdoor table.

The chairs, which retail for $1,175 each, are the same vintage-inspired pieces Meghan has shown off in previous sneak peeks at her home, including behind-the-scenes content from her lifestyle brand As Ever earlier this year. The dining chairs are crafted with solid white oak frames and hand-woven Danish paper cord seats and backs, and feature removable 100% Belgian Libeco linen cushions with foam filling.

The video, set to California dreams by The Mamas & the Papas, showcased the family's pumpkin collecting adventure before heading to the backyard carving session where the chairs appeared. Although the furniture pieces are technically designed for indoor use, Meghan has repeatedly showcased them in her outdoor dining area, pairing them with neutral bedding.

The aptly named furniture collection is inspired by a vintage piece that designer Jenni Kayne sourced for her own ranch, making Meghan's choice particularly fitting since she lives in Montecito, the collection's namesake. The chairs feature tenon and tenon joints and gently curved seats designed for comfort and built to last, taking on a natural patina over time.

Founded in 2002, the California-based brand has become synonymous with the luxurious and accessible neutrals that characterize West Coast life – a style Meghan has fully embraced since moving to Montecito with Harry and their children. The designer's pieces have also been seen by celebrities such as Jennifer Garner and Emma Stone, although Meghan remains one of the brand's most consistent ambassadors, regularly showcasing Jenni Kayne clothing and homewares in her social media content.
