The $399 price is for the LCM (Metal Legs) not the LCW (Wood legs). LCM is also $399 at DWR. I think Herman Miller heeps their pricing standard and only allows a few sales per year. Apartment Therapy - Eames Molded Plywood Chairs in Aniline Stains Flag this comment	9/25/07 10:56 AM
Try a LTL (Less than Load) carrier. It's a bit of a pain, and they often charge between $40 and $70 on each end to pick up/drop off at a residence but you should be able to get a lot cheaper than $1000.

It may be a bit big for a lot of folks, but I can't say enough good about the Weber Spirit E310. It is built extremely solid and is meant to last. The Weber grill manual that comes with it lists most of your grillables with temp settings and times. It has never steered me wrong, even when grilling things for the first time. The 310 has three burners (front, mid, back) which allows you to shut the middle one off and cook indirectly which is a lot like roasting - great for larger cuts of meat. http://www.weber.com/bbq/pub/grill/2007/gas/SpiritE310.aspx It is around $400 and worth every penny. I have been known to scrape 6 inches of snow off the top to run it. Top 10: Grills Flag this comment	6/22/07 1:22 PM
It's a tough market out there. Some of the stuff is crap, but some is really good. A few years ago I was looking for an LC4 Chaise in pony. This was back when DWR was carrying a knockoff of it for around $1500. I knew I couldn't afford the Cassina version, but $1500 for a knockoff seemed to be too much. I ended up researching a bunch and at the time most of the Chinese versions of the chair used springs to support the cusion and not straps. I ended up going with an Italian built version from http://www.design-classics.it/web/ . I'm very happy with the quality of it. Since then I have seen some Chinese versions that are of good quality. Later I wanted a Barcelona chair and now have the one from http://www.loftyinspirations.com/ because it seems to be the most Knoll-like at a reasonable price. The frame is thick and sturdy, the leather is of good quality and the back cushion is slightly curved. The center of the bottom of the seat cushion is not leather, but that's pretty typical of reproductions and you can't see it unless you remove the cushion. I guess it's caveat emptor out there and it really helps if you do plenty of research. Know the original design well, and where the reproductions differ. Ask lots of questions to the store and make sure you are actually getting the product in the picture. Oh, and make sure the product pictures actually match each other. I've seen sites where they had two pics of a product with a 5 leg base on one and a 4 leg base on the other. Which are you getting? uh.. Good Questions: Insight on Reproductions of Design Classics?
