There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Speaking of assembly, mine went together easily in about a relaxed half-hour. As with all prefabs like this, it's important to put everything together loosely to start with, then tighten everything together. If you tighten the early screws, you'll have trouble getting the later ones lined up. I also found it helpful to retighten after we'd done some sitting in the chair, and I expect to do that every so often going forward.
The chair itself is ridiculously comfortable, with lovely contours and ample surfaces (my wife and I are both large people and the chair fits us nicely). Great for long sitting; no need for cushions.
The chair came efficiently and carefully packed, and showed up before I expected. Overall, I'm pretty darn pleased with the thing, and based on this one sample, recommend the chair and the company enthusiastically.
Update 2019:
I've had to do some repair on this chair. The Ikea style hardware plus low density plywood don't hold up well to any kind of torque, so over time the bumpers in the backrest assembly pulled loose. I was able to glue it back together but I no longer expect this chair to be a long term keeper.
I like these chairs and matching table a lot. They’re very comfortable and really look good.
So far, almost 2 years from initial purchase, they’ve held up extremely well, with no issues with fit, finish, or construction. They are the the main seating in my little lounge area at the back of my home office.
A great look at a great price! :D
UPDATE 5: (8/31/17)
I finally ordered a second chair because it was an open box Amazon warehouse deal too good to pass up. It arrived today in perfect condition, has already been fully assembled, and is a perfect match in both veneer grain and color to the other chair and table I ordered earlier this year. I'm absolutely pleased with the quality of this product, again, and would totally recommend to anyone wanting a reasonably convincing vintage Eames look and comfort at a fraction of the cost.
UPDATE 4: (8/18/2017)
I've now had this chair for a little over 7 months and I love it. It is very sturdy, and has had no issues whatsoever. Probably going to pick up a second on shortly so that I'll have two that match the Lexmod table (which I might add is also very nice and sturdy). At the moment they are in the bedroom as a little study area, but they will eventually be moved into the back room which is being converted into a listening lounge. Excellent construction and style for the price. Very pleased with purchase.
UPDATE 3: My replacement chair arrived today. It has the rubber bushings/cushions that the original was missing. That said, it assembled easily, without the need for longer screws like suggested in that other review.
The fit and finish of this chair is equal to or maybe a little better than the first one sent. And because the rubber bushings are present on this one (see photos), the seat is suspended above the frame, and not rubbing a scar into it like the first.
Bumped back to 5 stars - this is a great looking chair!
UPDATE 2: Amazon Customer Service is excellent! After working with Amazon representatives, Ivan A. and Enzo R., the issue has been completely resolved. Since the manufacturer refused to send me replacement parts (due to where I live, not due to availability), Amazon, and the representatives above, have arranged for this original chair to be returned, and a replacement is already on its way.
Excellent customer service from Amazon!
I'm very happy because this is a really nice chair (besides the missing parts). Back to 4 stars for now, 5 if the replacement isn't missing anything.
UPDATE 1: It turns out that the reason I didn't have the difficulty others did in assembly of this product is because it is missing all of the "natural rubber cushions" that go between the wood parts (see photos), so the chair is not actually assembled correctly and the seat is rubbing a scar into the frame. The reason I am currently dropping my 5 star review to 1 is because after contacting ModWay, (the company that makes this chair), to see if they could send me the rubber pieces, they refuse to ship them to me and have instructed that if I want this resolved, I contact Amazon for a replacement chair.
I'm debating just returning it for full refund and cancelling the order of their table, too (since that still hasn't shipped.)
Classic lines of the original Eames model at a tenth of the current price. An excellent reproduction. The plywood (wenge, in my case) is finished very nicely with an even color throughout. All the hardware seems very sturdy; and while I haven't yet purchased the longer screws and tubing like was suggested in that top review - it looks as though it may not actually be necessary. (Maybe they improved the construction since that prior review?) It took less than 15 minutes to get it all put together and leveled - an easy assembly.
Anyway, I ordered this along with the matching round LexMod bent plywood table. The table has yet to be shipped, and now that I see the quality of the chair, I can't wait to receive the matching table!
I'm very pleased with this purchase from LexMod/Amazon. I'll probably end up getting another once my table arrives.
(Please, send the table soon!) :)

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2023
Now for the low points. The chair is a bit uneven, i.e. one leg is too short. Having said this you can easily address this by either shortening or lengthening other leg(s) or, just like me, simply ignore this issue because once you are sitting on it the chair is rock steady, i.e. you won't feel it because under load all four legs touch the ground. The plywood quality is not the best, but it is varnished. I suspect that it is susceptible to discoloration after some use but this is just me guessing.
Did I mention that for the price you shouldn't really complain? I usually go for high quality versions of a product but here the price gap is so much bigger than the quality gap that I could not resist and so far I don't regret either.
