I can understand where the heir is coming from, and I agree that cheap knock-offs are not honoring the original integrity of the design, but not everyone is lucky enough to be able to afford even the high quality reproductions! I bought my Eames shell chairs off of eBay and it was a stretch and a half for us to afford them. They were slightly cheaper than others because they were in rough shape, so I refurbished them a few months after they came. I love the chairs. They are perfect for my home, and worth the money/effort, and for me personally, I'd rather have these than repros (even the "real" plastic repros. These have already withstood fifty or so years of use and look worn, but wonderful. My young family loves their sense of history and integrity. And I view them as an investment. Some day I'll resand and apply Penetrol again (after my kids are done spilling and grinding sticky things into them) and SOMEDAY get wooden dowel bases for them. But in the mean time, it's like sitting on sculpture every time we eat.adrianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15368213433617412948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-76599703434356975362011-03-03T14:40:39.801-06:002011-03-03T14:40:39.801-06:00We love Eames rockers!We love Eames rockers!Tiffaneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04569591273766906784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-22014856676320764142011-03-03T11:14:36.535-06:002011-03-03T11:14:36.535-06:00We had fiberglass chairs as a kid, but never one&#...We had fiberglass chairs as a kid, but never one's this cool!1950s Atomic Ranch Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460669868967006928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-43232021153746495432011-03-03T09:13:29.476-06:002011-03-03T09:13:29.476-06:00The orange rocker is fun.
