Chair

Unless your chair came with Eames certificate of authenticity, it is very likely a replica of original Eames chair which retails for over $6K in USA.  

There’s a wide range of quality among Eames replicas, especially when it comes to upholstery and metal construction. I did extensive research before choosing mine, and it’s upholstered in high-quality, genuine top-grain Italian leather imported from Italy.  Most Eames replicas doesn’t have an option to remove cushions, mine came with removable cushions, backed by a 3-year Manufacturer Warranty. 

@bigtwin - I guess so.  Salesman…salesperson…saleswoman says that in-site offers more fabric/leather options than online - throwing out the bait.

I just moved. Triplets college paid. Upgrading furniture after decades living frugally with IKEA furniture- flipped flimsy drawers when sagging.  Might be able to convince spouse into getting my “retirement” daddy chair under furniture upgrade😬.  Another way to look at this is “+cost-resale value” aka I’m not out the full price.  If discount is half price…wishful thinking

I saw a few Eames copies on Amazon. Seems a bit of research is needed to find a “good” copy.

@lalitk  I totally agree there are many versions of this iconic chair.  A good replica has  been built close to the exact specs of the original.  Since the Eames chair is able to be copied by anyone, a certificate of authenticity is just a piece of paper.  IMHO 

Look at the construction details of this chair that retails for $1600 US.  You will see two of them in my virtual system page.  Extremely comfortable.  I’m only hyping them because they are a fantastic product.  Ships virtually assembled.  And they ship to the US.  It’s your money and you should spend it any way you see fit.  In my world, I won’t pay 3 -4 times the price to have a name attached.   Cheers.

I often see used-like new Ekornes chairs going for around $1200.

Lots here(where I bought mine for the southern condo)

I wouldn’t either, and I never suggested that anyone should. My point was simply this: if you’re considering an Eames replica, do your due diligence and choose the best replica available within your budget.
