Picked up an Eames LCW recently in the ash color way. Just gotta figure out where to place it in my place. For the time being, it is next to my bed as a make shift nightstand since I am in need of one.

Is the DCW as comfortable as the LCW? Just saw a DCW for a good price, debating on buying it.

Herman Miller 15% off sale going on right now

I bought that^ to put next to my LCW

Suggestions for some nice plastic chairs besides Eames for dining table?

I kinda like the Kartell Hi-cut

[baizilla]

louis ghost chairs? or maybe they are too common?

[pepper davies]

I know people ask this all the time, but any recommendations for finding deals on furniture? Roommate is moving out tomorrow so I'll need a desk, dresser, and kitchen table and chairs.

Additionally, craigslist is saturated with Eames copies. Any way to find the real deal?

[kvc06]

CL is really your best bet. Also maybe estate sales/ garage sales in nicer neighborhoods.

I've had the best luck with craigslist/ ebay. Gotta sort through the BS posts. Check craigslists near your area besides your home CL if you don't mind driving. search "herman miller" on craigslist and you might find some that people don't label as eames.

[kvc06]

O hay what could it be?

[Desi]

You need help. I am here.

Shitty phone pic.. Tv was messing up so picked up a 1080p lcd projector. have to finish setting it up.

[eplsoccer7]

So I'd like some help identifying this chair. I believe it's a DCW, authentic or fake I do not know. So I picked up some holiday shifts at Banana Republic and this was in the stock room from an old display. I planned on asking the manager this morning to buy it or replace it with another chair. She said people were being lazy by sitting in it and wanted it thrown away. She said I could take it. Here are some photos of it. Thanks!

[kvc06]

It's the real deal, Banana Republic uses real chairs in their displays sometimes.. My local store has a lounge chair and ottoman that they rest clothes on... wish I could have it.

Awesome find

[eplsoccer7]

Thanks for that. Pretty pumped on it. Definitely has been abused however, with tiny paint chips, scuffs and scratches. Any ideas on proper cleaning/refurb? I have a friend who's dad restores vintage furniture. I may go pick his brain.

[kvc06]

Nothing wrong with a little wear, but your friend's dad should definitely be able to bring it back up to shape if it bothers you with some refinishing.

from HM:

For normal cleaning, dust furniture daily with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Wipe dry with a dry, soft cloth in the direction of the wood grain. Once a month, clean the surface with a soft cloth dampened with a quality cleaner formulated for wood furniture. Wipe the surface in the direction of the wood grain to remove dirt and fingerprints. Wipe dry with a clean, dry cloth. Twice a year, apply a good quality emulsion wax to the finish with a soft cloth. Emulsion wax is clear and prevents fingerprints.

For minor repair of water rings, stains, and scratches, rub the surface lightly in the direction of the wood grain using No. 000 steel wool. Apply a scratch-removing polish with a color and value that simulate the veneer. If the scratches are deep, consult a professional furniture refinisher.

[eplsoccer7]

It's been years since wood shop. I don't know if I trust myself. Thanks for the info.

People that know more than me - are these Eames or just cheapos? One of my friends took the picture in an abandoned church and I'd be willing to go track it down if they'd clean up nice.

I can tell by the shape, they are not eames.

[Appleseed]

Look like typical molded plastic school chairs.

What side table is that?

[bb_tt]

galant from ikea. i have the black version

[kvc06]

Prices for Eames fiberglass are through the roof on Ebay, Craigslist. I suspect anyone who pays over $150 for a side chair will regret it in a year or so...

[redX]

don't act like you ain't part of the problem bruh
