Eames Lounge Chair copies... worth it?
FYI, even the Herman Miller ones have back spacers that are plastic. They stopped using rubber back in the 70's.- ES670

I'd never buy at retail price either. I think it's true that folks outside the US have much less access to quality vintage pieces in the used market. No one can say about the longevity of the Rove chairs. And it's not to say that the Herman Miller ones are bullet proofed either especially...- ES670

RebelScum, that's indeed a very nice looking chair. I'm coming from the "for original" camp and I do have some experience spotting fakes. I'm by no means promoting fakes or replicas but I do agree that Rove probably does the best job copying the original. A couple of questions though. What's...- ES670

So glad to hear. Graham has taught me so much about Eames design. He's honest and generous with his knowledge. You're in the best hands possible. Look forward to the "after" pix. Good luck.- ES670

Sorry to see the damage to your beautiful Santos Palosander chair. I have good news for you though. Someone named Graham Mancha is located in the UK. He's by far the most knowledgeable and skilled craftsman of Eames design. You may just google him and I'm sure he can help you repair the shock...- ES670

I'm sorry, but all the proportion of the chair above is way off. Everything........- ES670

The only "off" things I see in your chair so far is the white string on the back of the cushion because the original ones don't have that and the originals have black rectangular clips that hold the cushion in place. I'm pointing these things out for the sake of noting the subtle differences...- ES670

Hands down the best reproduction! I really can't believe how good it looks. Too bad I"m not able to feel the leather, but I take your word for how good and soft it is. I"m a believer!!! Having said that, it brings us back to the questions whether it's worth it or not to buy a reproduction...- ES670

Very nice, Britanny! I think they got the arm rests angle perfectly. If you don't mind and when you have the time, can you post some pix of the inside veneer and the back of the cushions? Again, I"m very impressed. As to your question about the rubber shock mounts, I believe they meant the shock...- ES670

Eames Lounge Chair copies... worth it?
Hi Kevin, one thing you need to consider when buying brand new is that you won't know the grain pattern on the veneer until the chair arrives. For me, I'm pretty particular about the grain. So it's certainly a risk that you have to be willing to take. That's one advantage in buying used because...- ES670

Forget it, Brittany. For whatever reason, some people just love attacking you. Personally, I enjoy reading your posts and experiences although I can't say I agree with everything you've said. Please don't let them stop you from expressing yourself.- ES670

Just emailed a local smaller retail store and asked what type of discount a designer would qualify. They said with Herman Miller, it'd be a 5%. That's a shame, considering the annual sale is 15% off. Btw, for Brittany, $2,900 is for the set or just the chair?- ES670

Wow, that to me is crazy. That's a very steep discount. If I was in the market for an Eames Lounge Chair right now, it'd be a no brainer for me to get the authentic one. Some may feel that labels don't matter. That's what I thought before as well, but then after I got my repro, the nagging...- ES670

I'd love to hear an actual successful purchase through an architect. I casually asked an architect friend about purchasing Herman Miller furniture through her firm, she told me it'd only be a couple hundred dollar difference. So I don't think it's as big of a difference as some have claimed here.- ES670

If possible, would love to see a side by side comparison between an authentic and a repro. Or at least up close pix of the repro to see the details. Thanks.- ES670

I have to say I almost laughed when I saw your post, SkinnyGoomba. No disrespect, but don't be so paranoid. No one is trying to deceive you. For me, it was an eBay order and I got a pretty good deal for around $800 for both chairs; they're a year old but in brand new condition, well except for...- ES670

I agree. I recently order 2 Eames LCM chairs and the box came in perfect condition until I opened it to find some plywood pieces to have dents and chips due to them not being packaged well and being shoved around during the shipment. So just to be safe, you may want to consider inspecting it...- ES670

Maybe I'm just that stupid, but there's no way I could have deduced that from your original post. Intentional or not, the attacks towards anyone here just aren't appreciated, maybe except for the attackers. But again, with 10 posts, what do I know?- ES670
