Well like everyone else who has reviewed their purchase at Rove Concepts I am indeed "in love" with my Lounge Chair. Mine is Vintage Milano Smoke leather with Rosewood Palisander and I am so glad I went with my choice. No, I didn't get a chance to visit Vancouver and check out the samples and no, I didn't go to DWR to sit in their chairs either. I instead studied every site on-line and having had a long standing lust for the HM Eames Lounge chair I went with all the positive reviews and trusted everyone who took the leap. Yes, you can find a reproduction chair for $2000 and it will be everything you hoped for. Might I recommend you don't throw an Australian long haired gray with black tipped sheepskin rug to beautifully accent the piece...unless of course you don't own a cat who will never let you sit there ;)
