5.0 out of 5 stars Great chairs at a great price!February 1, 2010

I purchased these chairs for my son's room and I could not be more happy with them! - they are even better than I expected! They arrived very quickly (even with free super saver shipping from amazon), were easy to assemble (just a few screws) and are actually quite sturdy! I've owned them for a week so far and can see them lasting for quite a while. I would definitely recommend these chairs to anyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars To be clearSeptember 24, 2010

To be clear, this is not the famous Eames Eiffel chair (or rather, it's still not its direct descendent, the one with the wooden legs). It's not the Eiffel chair. It's clearly plastic instead of fiberglass, and the plastic is a bit soft at that.

But that being said, it does LOOK a lot like the Eiffel chair. It's well built, sturdy, and shipped with care. Quick to assemble. I won't claim that some people won't think you bought it at Ikea, but it does look much better than most of the ikea chairs i've tried, and in my opinion it feels sturdier as well. It's beautiful and feels at home next to much pricier items.

For the price, I'm ecstatic. And besides, wasn't the Eiffel chair designed to be cheap anyway? Perhaps this cheap plastic edition is more in the spirit of Eames' original vision than those other more expensive reproductions you're likely to find these days. Either way, I'm quite happy.
