How to compare the quality of Eames Replica Eiffel DSW/DSR Chair?
THE SEAT
You may have seen 4 circle marks on top of the seat when comparing the chairs. These marks should be seen from limited angles only, as on the original chair. The cheap knockoffs will have 4 circle marks very visible from many angles. The thinner the chair, the less sturdy it is.
THE SHOCKMOUNTS
The shockmounts of the Eiffel replica chair are the most important parts of the seat as they will affect the durability of the chair. On the pictures above, you can see the big difference between the quality reproductions and the cheap ones.
Our seat is a mirror design of the original Vitra version. The cheap versions are undersized in design and have a lack of metal reinforcement at the fixation.
THE BASE
In order to give a stronger and more durable support of the chair, we crease the metal connectors, as on the original base. The cheaper versions are not creased, as you can see on the picture above. A base with creased connectors can definitely support more weight and will be more durable.
