How To Find The Best Quality Eames Lounge Chair

The Eames lounge chair is the ultimate quirky and unique furniture item, which can come in a wide range of styles and colours to suit any decor. It can be extremely tempting to go for the cheapest copy of the design. At first glance, cheaper designs appear to look exactly the same as the original collection. However, cheaper creations are created with cheaper substances and in terms of quality; these designs are no match to the original and higher priced designs.

It can be hard to know where to begin when you come to select and purchase a reproduced piece of furniture. With many online and high street retailers all competing for a sale and all claiming they have a high quality, exact replica of the famous collection, it’s extremely difficult to choose the right product, knowing that you’re getting the best value for money. Here are a few tips to bear in mind before purchase your perfect Eames lounge chair...

- Make sure you know who you are buying from: – When buying reproduction furniture, particularly pieces that are as popular and stylish as the Eames collection, you’re going to want it to last. Although many furniture suppliers will offer many years of warranty, this is no use if they’re likely to shut down or re-launch under a different name. It’s a good idea to only purchase items from well established furniture supplies and never be afraid to ask questions in terms of warranty and return.

- Find out where the furniture is manufactured: - China is generally the most common place for furniture manufacture, simply because furniture suppliers can get cheaper labour costs, which should then allow their products to be sold at affordable prices. Providing that high quality, imported materials are used; there is nothing wrong with buying furniture that is made in China. The most popular material for the Eames chair is leather. High quality designs should be created with genuine Italian leather. You will find that the cheap and cheerful designs are created with Chinese leather, Leatherette or Leather match. These are thinner materials which generally don’t last very long or look as good.

- Don’t always trust a picture: - To ensure you are purchasing a good quality design, it’s advisable to go and see the chair in the flesh. Although online shopping is becoming increasingly popular and generally reliable, when it comes to furniture, a picture will not enable you to see the exact size of the chair or discover the type of materials used. It has also been known for some online retailers to steel pictures from other websites and cast them off as their own. Therefore, it’s important to be aware that what you’re seeing isn’t necessarily what you’re getting. However, if you have found an affordable chair from a well established website, you could always contact the retailer and ask for a variety of photographs of your chosen design. This should then enable you to determine if the product is genuine.

Questions, questions, questions – Whether it’s by phone, email or in person, never be afraid to ask the supplier any questions that may arise during the process of selecting and purchasing your Eames collection. A piece of furniture that is as iconic and famous as the Eames chair, should stand proud in your home and be passed down in your family for years on end. Therefore, it’s worthwhile spending a small amount of extra time ensuring your chosen chair is a high quality reproduction, which offers endless comfort and style.
