I see some things that sell on Craigslist that still retain 75% or so of their original value, most others drop STEEPLY though... I'm really glad I stumbled onto this thread. I've been debating for months on whether or not to get a Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair or the one from Rove Concepts. I found an authorized dealer that I talked into giving me a brand new Walnut/Black Leather for $3400 shipped/after tax or with MCL leather upgrade for $3600. (I believe the full retail is $5,000 + for both of these models). Rove Concepts copy would be $1400. I don't know what do to. What do you all think of the price point of the Herman Miller one that I got quoted?
If it's a steal I think I will jump on the Herman Miller one... Such a great chair... Location: The American Gardens Building, West 81st Originally Posted by Intrepident 3600 is a great deal.

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! Is it just me or is there a lot of obvious BS spam going on?I agree, some of it seems like spam. I looked at manhattan home design but the leather is tight and unnatural looking. That's my one gripe with reproductions. Let that leather relax, baby! It looks cheap and ridiculous pulled all tight like that. Just my 2 cents. Scratch that, I just went on the MHD site again, and apparently they have changed some things about their chair. Looks like the leather is as it should be. Last time I looked them up was December of last year. But then I went to the Barcelona designs website and they have the same pictures, so who knows.
Maybe it's secretly the same company. No, selling fakes is a breach of copyright. They all belong together in many cases. If one gets closed the other one continues. Never be happy with a fake, always buy the real dealLast month, I got a great deal on bright blue Eames shell chair, but the swivel base was just too office-y for my taste. Over the weekend, I switched out the old base for a black wire rocker base with walnut runners. By the way, I personally find the vintage fiberglass Eames shells to be FAR more attractive than the newer polypropylene reproductions made by Vitra. Yes, they’re licensed by Herman Miller, but they just aren’t the same thing. If you live in the U.S., it’s very easy to get vintage Eames shell chairs for less than $50 apiece. Patience is key, but they are absolutely not as unattainable as Vitra would have you believe—there’s no need to pay $229 for a chair ($399 for a rocker!) that doesn’t even look like its supposed to (trust me on this; if you saw a vintage Eames shell next to a new one, you would think the new one is a cheap knockoff).
If you find a shell without a base (or with a base you don’t like), there are several people who sell reproduction bases in all styles on eBay. For my money, a vintage shell in all its fiber-rich glory is way more satisfying than a completely smooth piece of new, molded plastic, even if I have to do a little extra work to get it how I want.Second hand for sale on Ireland's largest auction and classifieds sites Refine your searchFilter » The link doesn't work The ad is undesirable The ad doesn't exist anymore The ad isn't relevant Dispatched from and sold by Mmilo-home.
