Subdude Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 Used ones can cost as much as, and even more than, new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 I think though that both this one and the Barcelona chair look better used than new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Wonder if Eames does rehabs of its "potato chip" chairs? I used to have a set of 4, but the backs had seperated due to deterioration of the rubber devices used to hold them in place. Because of this, I left them behind during a move - still kicking myself.

Subdude Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 Should have saved them! There are people who rehab old furniture like that. I know someone who had his old Eames lounge recently restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey01 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I found an authentic Eames lounge for $600 once. I like them slightly broken in, but I thought this particular chair might have been too broken in. It had cracks in the leather and was chipped. I was an idiot for not buying and still regret it. I bought 2 Dudley Best desk lamps instead, which I do love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I have an Eames (circa 1961 I believe) that's in perfect condition, well at least close to it. I got it from my grandparents several years ago and it's fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 I love mine too, but the funny thing is I never actually sit in it, so it should stay in good shape for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
