Thank you! Yes, my house was a mess for a while.

Exceptional results. We had one of those chairs growing up in the 1970's-80's, but we weren't allowed to sit on it as it was a "grownup's" chair - a flash from the past!

@@edkk2010 I work in the company that makes them. its a $10,000 chair and that's just today, originals sell for much much more. It isn't so much a chair as it is an art piece, so very understandable that young children are not to be allowed on them. I do hope that are keeping it in the family though its a great heirloom piece!

Thank you so much for picking real leather. I see so many people go with the cheapest fake leather knowing that it will fall apart in 2 years. This will look good for decades.

Leather is not that expensive either

I work in the furniture industry, and it's remarkable that the assembly on these style of lounge chairs are practically the same, 50+ years later. As the old sayings, "if it ain't broke don't fix it."

Not quite true unfortunately, I'm a master upholsterer who has "reupholstered" (it's really just sewing these days) the modern Herman Miller version. The modern ply forms and metal frame are pretty good quality still. The factory upholstery is cheap. It's all zipped onto cheap, thin plastic templates now, which clips onto the ply forms and they just don't fit well leaving gaps everywhere. There is no Dacron batting, and it's all kinda cheaply constructed overall. The old upholstered way, as in the video, was the much better way.

The Eames lounge and ottoman has been in continuous production since the late 1950's. Herman Miller builds them for the North American market and another authorized company makes them for the European market. You can spot the authentic pieces with the Eames Office plaque is on the bottom of the chair and on the ottoman.

@@chemicaljonez Hi there! Just curious about these chairs-I've noticed they're quite expensive. They certainly look like good quality, but do you think they're worth the price, or are we mainly paying for the luxury brand name?

I love how you let the cat do the final quality inspection.

Great video. One tip when using aircraft stripper to strip paint, after you apply it to the surface, cover it in plastic wrap. If you're able to trap the gasses/fumes from the stripper inside it helps separate the paint much easier, so it comes off in larger pieces with less scraping and junk left behind. Would love to have this chair in my home, great job. You did so well with the upholstery, especially for a first time effort. Your extra effort certainly does not go unnoticed

@KevinCrafted

Thanks for the tip and the kind words!

The thing that impresses me most about the original is the fact that they used actual leather. Craftsmanship was important to the Eames', and I think they'd really love what you did with your restoration. Bravo
