Before finally deciding to purchase, I saw a number of blogs and Reddit posts that said this was definitively the best Eames lounge chair replica available in the U.S. I'm not an expert and have only sat in the real thing a couple times, but I can say the build quality on this chair is outstanding, and it's very comfortable. The leather is very high quality, the foam in the cushions is firm but not hard, and the molded plywood is very well finished. Again, not having much basis for comparison to the real thing, but on its own this is a very high quality piece of furniture that feels appropriately priced for the build quality, which to me feels equivalent to Room & Board or another higher end store, and a bit better quality than something from West Elm, Crate & Barrel, Blu Dot, etc., in terms of materials, finishes, and how well the parts fit when you assemble it. I am 5'9" and bought the standard size. The headrest hits at the base of my head/top of my neck, which is fine for how I use the chair -- but if you're my size or taller and expecting head support, I'd recommend the tall version. The main thing holding me back from purchasing sooner was the mixed experiences some buyers reported with shipping, items arriving damaged and subsequent customer service experiences, but I had a very positive experience. I called to ask about shipping and get some clarity around the return policy and what happens if items are damaged in transit. The woman I spoke to at Urban Furnishings was very helpful and answered all of my questions. The standard size chair ships in a single large reinforced box via FedEx Ground. I live in Minnesota and it arrived in 4 business days. I had it routed to a FedEx Office location so I could inspect the box before accepting it (vs. having it left on my doorstep where I wouldn't get that chance). The box was in great shape so I accepted it. Once I opened it, things were very well packed, secured in place and protected with foam, cardboard and protective plastic sheeting over the polished metal legs. There were no scratches or dents in any parts I received. The hardware is good quality and the tools you need to assemble it are provided. Also included in the box is a tub of what appears to be some kind of leather moisturizer or cleaning paste (?), but the package is in Chinese and there are no English instructions with it so I don't know what it's supposed to be used for. The chair was very easy to assemble, although like other buyers have noted, having another set of hands to help hold the armrests in place when screwing them in was essential -- it would've been much harder alone (if not impossible). Overall, I'm very satisfied and look forward to enjoying it for a long time. I've had the chair for about 3 weeks now and it's absolutely been worth the money. Hope this review helps someone!

Fast shipping. Great customer service, they really want you to be happy!

Chair came quickly with free shipping. Chair was very easy to assemble.

We are very happy with our chair so far. This chair was rated highest among reproduction Eames loungers and it is really good quality. Beautiful frame and leather. Super comfortable too!

A beautiful chair. True to the original but better. The first was so awesome, we had to get a second to stop arguments over who got to sit in it!
