Seems odd that they only put one coat of paint on that bracket. Very disappointing to say the least. I was about to pull the trigger but for $1700 bucks I would expect more on this.

For what it’s worth, the feet are steel and not painted, similar to the real deal. The only parts that are painted are where chair and ottoman screw into the base. I agree with you though, it would have been nice to not have it chip the second I tightened the ottoman.

Nice! I ordered precisely the same model you did and it shipped just yesterday from a west coast retailer here in Canada (Eternity Modern). The walnut finishes were sold out and had 8 - 12 week waits, so I determined then that they were the more popular finish. This was fine with me, though, as I wanted the “Palisades” / rosewood one, of which they had 4. I’m also 6’, so I’m glad I went with the “tall” model. I don’t even think it cost more money than the regular version, but I could be wrong. I’m psyched to get this thing.

Update: I’m sitting in the identical chair I spoke of a few days ago, and yeah, it rocks! I totally second the advice to get the Tall version if you’re at or around 6’ in height. In fact, you could be quite a bit smaller and still love the Tall. It’s simply more of a great chair, in my opinion. If you do a Google Image Search for “Frasier” + “Eames Lounge Chair” or something, you’ll see a picture of him sitting in what has to be the “regular.” In any case, out of curiosity, I Googled his height, because the chair you’ll see him in looks absolutely punt. Turns out he is 185 cm, or about 6’1. So to my 183 / 6’, yeah-dude would have been much better suited to a Tall, had they been around at the time.

Thanks so much for the review! Is the back actually 33.25 inches tall? I read that both Amazon and Sohnne chairs are slightly shorter than they report on their webpage (Sohnne Tall: 31.5 in reality vs. 33 inches on webpage).
@frescosmalls8 ай бұрын
I just measured it and it's pretty much right at 33.25" tall for me (the cushion is slightly taller than the back because of the angle). If you measure only to the top of the back (excluding the cushion), it's basically right at 33".

Long shot, but did you keep the box or otherwise remember what brand was on the box? I know these are made in some misc factory and resold by a number of retailers, but none of them would divulge the manufacturer until you receive the actual box (because the real name is on the box).

I'm worried about the headrest, does it reach the back of your head? I'm not that tall at 5'9 but not being able to rest your head back seems wild on all the eames chairs
@frescosmalls8 ай бұрын
I'm around 6' to 6'1" and the very top of my neck (just under the back of my head) hits the top of the headrest cushion. This is comfortable and feels supportive enough for me, but at 5'9" you'll probably have the back of your head hit somewhere near the top of the headrest cushion so I think it should be even better for you. This is, of course, with the A+ Taller version of the chair, so I would aim for that as it is the tallest version CurverK makes. I think 5'9" or so is probably actually the ideal height for this exact chair, personally.@@peppaz
