I spent a couple of months researching this dowel base Eames chair and the rocker version, almost pulling the trigger on the Modernica fiberglass proximity ($400!). The chairs arrived in 2 days, shipping cost a couple of bucks, and I put them together easily (4 hex screws, not complicated). General Measurements are very close to Eames specs listed on Design Within Reach's site (about a half an inch shy on all dimensions). Plastic Shell Finish is pure bright white, with subtle grained texture (similar to an egg's shell) only noticeable close up. The product detail shot looks to be more of a glossy finish, but the actual product is definitely matte. Very subtly "dimpling" noticed on seat above 4 areas where base attaches to the chair. This may very well be the case with the legit Eames version too, but worth mentioning. Base is adequate. Black cross beams with silver hex screws. The wooden dowel legs are fine- lighter colored birch (or perhaps "beech") finish. Glossy-ness of urethane finish on the wood is slightly cheap looking- though it should dull with time. I've seen the White on White version in person, and it excels in this area- their version features a more rich looking walnut, but is more expensive. Black floor caps on bottom of legs are nothing to write home about. All in all, a good product for the money.

I love these chairs! They are a great looking knock off of a midcentury modern icon that I could never afford otherwise. Shipping was super fast, simple to put together (I think it took less than 10 minutes to assemble both) and they are also quite comfortable. One bit of info that is not included in the description is that the arm hieght is 26" off the floor. I took a risk ordering these not knowing if they would fit undr my dining table or not and fortunatley, they work for me.

Two words for this great replication of classic mid-century modern design: dope chairs. Good quality, good looks, great price. Do it my friends and you'll be jamming to some fusion rock in no time...Mork will be jealous that Mindy will be kicking in in these smooth operators, and you will for sure be a winner in life again. Hope in your Delorean and get some of these asap. peace

I live in a condo above a DWR and they have they original versions of these chairs at $400/each. They are very nice. I thought I would save a ton of money and buy they knock-offs. I want to complain, but I really can't at the price. The are very similar from afar, but the quality of the plastic molding is definitely not the same. Overall, as in most things in life, you get what you pay for.

Good quality, sturdy chairs. The holes for the legs didn't line up perfectly, but it wasn't a big deal and we made it fit pretty quickly. Great design at a fraction of the cost! I would go with the armless chairs if you're looking for desk chairs as the arms are pretty high and would not fit under my desk. Awesome chairs overall!

Unfortunately, there were a number of defects in workmanship of this product. There were several scratches on the chair legs, even though the box was not damaged -- the legs should have been wrapped individually before packing. Also, several of the screws in the legs were uneven and not well installed, and the holes where the screws were placed had rough edges in spots. It was a shame that the product had these defects, as I was really looking forward to having the chairs in my home. The seats appeared to be in fine condition, although I never got so far as to attempt to attached the seats to the legs because of the previously mentioned defects. I decided not to try to order replacements as I feared that the replacements would be defective as well. I did appreciate that Overstock covered the cost of return shipping. Too bad -- perhaps I was just unlucky.

These accent chairs are working perfectly in my mod apartment. They are lightweight yet sturdy and add just the right touch of classic, retro style. The ergonomic seat is very comfortable and I can sit in these chairs for hours at a time. The assembly is surprisingly easy. Soon after the packages arrived, these chairs were ready to rock and roll! Overall, I am extremely happy with this purchase. Thanks Overstock!

Very cheap quality and certainly not worth nearly $200. Each chair is worth $30 max! The chairs are made out of cheap, soft plastic. I was expecting them to be hard and sturdy for the price, but nope! p.s. Assembly was a bear and a bit confusing.

We purchased these chairs for our mid-century modern bonus room, hoping they would stand up to a lot of use by teenagers. We have not been disappointed! These are exceptionally sturdy chairs. Much higher quality than we anticipated for the price, and they look marvelous, too!

Love these chairs. And everyone else does too! They are knock offs of more expensive chairs, but are great quality. I am a heavy guy - about 230lbs - and these fit me nicely and are super strong. However I have noticed that I need to tighten the screws about once every couple of months - so save that allen wrench! Also, as they are white, they get dirty fast. I live in NYC and it's dusty. These get grey after about a month. I get a bucket of water, wash cloth and some Mr. Clean, and it does the trick. You will need to do this about once a month or so. But again you will have that with any white furniture. These chairs do not creak, wobble or make noises. They do have some dimples around the leg areas on two of the chairs but I did look at the more expensive kind and they have the same. Oh and every designer on HGTV is now using chairs like these.

I am very happy with my purchase. It is perfect for my midcentury decor. If you have a heavier family member not the best purchase, although I have had no problems with the chairs, the plastic might be too flimsy for a large person

Minutes to essemble them - no manual or tools needed. Pair looks great - the plastic does not have a smoothed shiny surface which I think would be esthetically even more pleasing. The best part: they are really comfortable. Used it for hours sitting at my desk.

The chairs are a good value. They are an attractive alternative to Eames, but not made with reinforced fiberglass. Easy to assemble.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Actual color matched represented color.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Would have given 5 starts, but it's not truly an Eames and not sure how it will hold up over time.

I loved this design (I didn't know it is a copy of the designer's chair) so I checked all the reviews before I ordered them. First of all, lightweight plastic chairs but it is pretty steady. Second, big and feels comfortable if you are not really used to awesome comfortable chairs. Third, roughed edged like typical Made In China quality. There is no 'Made In China' mark though. Fourth, It is fine for price. Fun looking, not wiggly yet (it will be someday!) hold my butt comfortably. I can recommend it to my friend but I should mention about the detail.

This set of Retro-classic White Accent Chairs reminds me of my funny and full of excitement young hood. As soon as I have seen them on Overstock the great memories came back. Although I have a modern living room these great classy accented retro chairs look amazing in the room. The chairs are high quality, giving a great design and comfort on affordable price. I would recommend them for every retro fan.

Great value for the price of 2 chairs. There were some light scratches on top of the seat, but only noticeable when looking on the side against the light...

the chairs are easy to put together but the holes for the screws had plastic around the threads of the hole. This made putting the screws in a couple of the holes impossible. So for one chair, i could screw in 3 of the screws for the other chair I could only screw in two. So, that chair is unstable when someone sits down. I considered shipping it back but ended up keeping the chairs. The plastic seats are low grade plastic so don't expect quality anywhere near the real chair at Design within reach.
