I really LOVE the design of Eames chairs. They are perfect match of my contemporary house. Great service and nice shipping. I would definitely buy from Yliving again.

Top Notch Quality As Always from Herman Miller

By: Michael B., Homeowner (San Diego)

What can I say, it's a classic. The Production quality is excellent as it always is with Herman Miller products. Really like the walnut dowel legs with black wire.

Classic Authentic Mid-Century Chairs

Herman Miller's Eames molded plastic chairs are perfect in nearly every interior. They are now more sustainably produced and the matte finish is durable and easy to maintain in both residential and commercial environments. I specify them again and again for clients and just bought them for my own home. Highly recommended!

Perfect, of course.

Beautiful chairs. Except for the change to more environmentally friendly materials, the same great chair since the 1940's.

Respect for the Designer

By: Kathleen H., Homeowner (Larkspur)

I adore my first Eames chair. I've been a student of chairs since embarking on furnishing my first apartment back in the '70's. So, I've followed Eames' designs, Thonet, Saarinen, with particular fondness for the midcentury aesthetic. As an added bonus, right after ordering, PBS featured the film that was made of the Eames Studio many years ago. I debated and debated on this purchase, but concluded that I wanted to respect the designers by purchasing chairs made by a licensed, reputable manufacturer. I will come back for more, for certain. And I will look first at this store, as they have very favorable policies and pricing. Delivery was fast and easy.

Exactly what I wanted

I tracked down this chair as a gift to my girlfriend who had wanted one for ages. Design Within Reach and a couple other places offered it, but YLiving had the best price, and awesome customer service.

A classic, reinterpreted.

Herman Miller re-issued the classic original Eames fiberglass chairs in a molded plastic version. We debated whether to buy this new issue or get the original fiberglass chairs, which no longer bear the Eames brand and are now manufactured by Modernica. While there are pros and cons to either choice (besides being the original - if you are a purist - fiberglass has more texture making the color appear somewhat varied and thus richer) we opted for the Herman Miller's because we felt the molded plastic would be more comfortable, as it's less rigid (fiberglass doesn't bend) and easier to clean (we have small children). The chairs are indeed comfortable (they "give" slightly when you lean against the back), and can be cleaned easily with a wet cloth. They also look very nice and match our Saarinen tulip table - a classic combo that looks great in our modern apartment with white sleek cabinetry and dark wood flors. I wish Herman Miller would offer the dowel-legs in different colors (currently, they only come in a light beech, whereas Modernica has them in maple or walnut and also offers the metal part in chrome or black). The color of the plastic shell replicates the original mid-century color scheme quite nicely and was rendered pretty accuratly on the YLiving website: however, those colors may not be everybody's cup of tea, as the retro look is a tad drab (as is the case with the green side chairs) or very bright (even more so in the Modernica variant). The chairs shipped reasonably quickly (about 2-3 weeks) and didn't require assembly; we just took them out of the box. YLiving customer service was friendly and efficient (there were no problems to be solved, so that shouldn't be dificult) and the shipper easy to liaise with for delivery.

Beautifully made classic

Sturdy, beautiful, great lines. Great materials. These chairs are for life.

An updated classic

By: Jodi, Homeowner (Miami)

I just bought 6 of these chairs in white. I paired them with a warm, farmhouse table made of reclaimed wood. I love the juxtaposition of a the warm table with a more modern chair. The wood dowel legs make the chair so much more interesting than the plain metal legs. I also think these chairs are so comfortable.

Beautiful.

This chair is beautiful, and the design of the space is now perfect.
