I ordered an Eames lounge replica from Rove Concepts and they gave me a great deal with delayed shipping, which means I had to wait two months, but I saved a couple hundred. They told me they are changing the tilt of the chair to match the original and are also upgrading a few other aspects of the chair. Now the plywood will be double faced, and they are changing up the padding to be a little more comfortable. I don't know what the plus is to do double faced plywood, do any of you know? Also, they said that they have both arm rest and head rest rubber shock mounts like the original. And their leather is zippered like the original as well. The aniline leather samples that I received seemed to be higher grade but there weren't any pores in the leather like the Herman Miller. (Yes, I requested samples of the Herman Miller leather in both the standard and MCL leather) So, Rove's leather must be sanded down or something to hide imperfections. I like the pores showing though. But then I'm weird. I am super excited to receive it, they said it should be end of this month that it ships! Been waiting since end of February!
