I wanted an Eames replica like the ones my grandpa used to sit in all the time. He passed away last year, just as I was buying a home, and I thought it would be lovely to have something that would remind me of him and that I could sit in and think of him every day. I did a lot of internet research and the consensus usually fell into two camps 1. save up for the real deal (way out of my budget) 2. go with Rove over the other replica dealers. I was very nervous about spending so much money on a piece of furniture, which I'd never even sat on before deciding to buy it. But I'm glad I took the chance on Rove! The only downside was that I ordered a custom color to match the chairs he used to have, so it took several months of waiting to make the chair in my specific color... Waiting all that time made me even more nervous, but it was worth the wait! Everyone loves the chair, and I love it so much I was not afraid to go ahead and purchase a Barcelona chair from Rove in the same leather to match my "grandpa" Eames chair. The leather I picked to match his old chairs is called Palermo Caramel and it is "like BUTTAH"! The Barcelona chair will commemorate my grandma who passed away less than a year after my grandpa. Almost 68 years together, they were inseparable, and they traveled the world holding hands all the way.
