time for a new coffee table

so I just bought this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/230745079369?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I know some will hate it, I don't care, I think it's cool, my old one was an ikea piece, pretty nice, but 'pedestrian' lol

also picked this up for the garage entrance door rack http://www.ebay.com/itm/230748371946?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

this site has copies too, I wanted the real thing to retain some value

http://www.lexingtonmodern.com/TRIANGLE-COFFEE-TABLE-s/4.htm

an extra $1000 over 10 years, who cares

but I did consider both

I would say a copy of something simple like the coffee table would be very good quality, very simple to make, wood and glass

the chairs, a bit more variable due to complexity and materials (leather), but I bet they could be pretty good

the eames lounger repro's look very good but without actually seeing/sitting in one I would buy one

Not to derail, but can anyone speak to the quality of the copies on the websites linked above (or any others)?
I'm in the market for two Corb LC3 chairs in black leather and can't justify the cost of the real thing. More problematic is the fact that that the cost of repro's is all over the map; on these two sites they're $549 and $999.
In the world of knock-offs, are you getting what you pay for?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

be careful with that. those glass tops are heavier than sh&t. I got the worst back spasms of my life carrying a friend's up a twisty staircase.

my table arrived today, set up and in use, really cool

a really nice accent, changed the tone of the room a bit

I used a protractor to set the angle precisely at 52 deg :D

I love that bench,would look good at the foot of my bed, a dressing seat
