If you're like and have always admired the classic Eames Lounge chair and ottoman, and someday plan to buy one, heed my advice. Make sure the product you buy is genuine. I bought two Eames chairs for $4,000 each in 2010. They were beautiful. They were comfortable. I loved them. Until 2020 when they suddenly fell apart. For the next several years I spent over $1,000 having them repaired. It was a battle. This week I lost the battle. Both chairs have recently faced their final collapse and cannot be repaired. I am assuming I was sold fake Eames chairs by Office Solutions in Chicago, but who knows? they may have been the real thing from Herman Miller. Maybe the Eames chair was always beautiful but never perfect.
