I keep looking at Eames replicas, wondering if that's an acceptable trade-off in quality. I also REALLY want an Eames. And I can afford a replica.

(Not all knockoffs are of dubious quality/legitimacy. I hear the people at Iconic Chair bought the rights to use the same molds from Herman Miller.)

I bought a new knock off Eames Lounge replica with Ottoman, made of faux leather for 600 EUR. Now, 5 years later, the buttons are gone, the leather in the seat is torn. Wood and metal are great though.
