Flawless
I was very skeptical, I admit. But I was pleasantly surprised, and I can't find a single flaw. The leather is very, very nice. The wood is gorgeous. The base is solid. The design, well, there's a reason why this is a "classic" design, right? This chair is ultra comfortable. I have compared all the close-up photos of the original chair from its manufacturer's website and I cannot distinguish my chair from the original designer (which costs about 9x more). I was nervous due to the lack of reviews, so I read all the feedback for Lexginton Modern and there are several positive comments from people who ordered this chair. One person's comment indicated it wasn't very reclined, but I think they put the base on backwards (an easy mistake). The packing job was great. I was a bit concerned when the box arrived with some punctures and tears, but the contents were packed with love -- and by love I mean bubble-wrap, and lots of it. I was...

Suprisingly good
So I was worried buying a "fake" Eames from a company I had never heard of and at the time there were no reviews for the chair. I must say I am impressed. The chair looks great. I grew up in a home with an authentic Eames and this chair looks right and feels right. The quality of the build is definitely not as good as buying a Herman Miller but that is why this chair is less than a third of the price. The leather is very nice, the wood finish is wonderful the grain has a lot of definition and the fixtures are solid. It has one or two spots on the edge of the plywood that are not finished perfectly but you really have to inspect the chair to find them. The delivery was very fast and the packaging was done very well. Overall I am very pleased. It looks just like a real Herman Miller Eames Lounge unless you inspect it closely. I will update my review if I find any problems as it ages.

Product Description
The Lounge Chair and Ottoman set is widely considered one of the most significant designs of the 20th century. It was designed to create a club chair using the molded plywood technology that they pioneered in the '40s. "the vision was a chair with the "warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt." The result has become the consummate lounge set, timelessly blending old-fashioned comfort and visionary modernism. Pairing soft, inviting leather with the sleek form of molded plywood, the seat is balanced on a five-star, die-cast steel base. This authentic-quality reproduction is virtually identical to the original lounge chair. The Modern Classic Plywood Lounge Chair & Ottoman is a high quality reproduction of Charles & Ray Eames iconic lounge chair design. Dimensions: Chair Dimensions: H: 33" . D: 36" . W: 34" . Seat height: 15" . Arm height: 20.5" Ottoman: H: 16.5" . D: 21" . W: 26.5" Top to learn more
Eames on a budget
I recently bought this item after much agonizing. Of course I would prefer the original, authentic Herman Miller product. Who wouldn't? But cough up $4000 for a chair? Who would? Especially with reproductions like this one available.I read many of the reviews before purchasing, which is why I am writing this one. I want to add my endorsement for those who, like me, were on the fence. I know quite a lot about Eames design. I have several authentic period items, and I love them. The Lounge Chair would be the jewel in the crown. But again - $4000? I submit that no chair is worth that.But this chair is worth $700 - $800. So if you want it, buy it. You won't be disappointed. The chair arrived quickly, in a large re-inforced box. Yes, the box was beat up from the journey, but the 2 pieces of the chair and the ottoman were both carefully wrapped in bubble stuff and were undamaged. There were no instructions (or any paperwork at all) in the box - Chinese...
