Relaxing in my Eames Chair
The chair is comfortable and beautiful. There are a few things about it that will require getting used to. After standing up and the foam expands back to it's normal size it wheezes as it sucks in air. Other leather chairs that I have have discreet air holes that allow air to more freely flow in and out of the foam cushion.
The chair is currently sitting in my office which doesn't have windows that open for ventilation. The chair still smells a bit from the foam padding but that will pass in time so I'm not really bothered by it.
Initially when I received my chair the upper back support was tilted from left to right. The left side was about a 1/4 higher than the right. Upon inspection we discovered that the holes drilled through the wood that mount the back to the chair were off by about 1/8 of an inch. I called Urban Furnishing and within about a day and a half I had a replacement piece. I had to change out the piece which was very simple and straightforward. They provided a prepaid label to ship the defective part back to them.
All in all I am very pleased with the chair. My mom recently came into my office and sat in the chair and mentioned that it was the most comfortable chair she has ever sat in, and then promptly fell asleep.
