"Hey friends: I was visiting a STAPLES store last weekend and was very surprised to find the famous Charles Eames chairs there. Staples calls them Amalfi designer chair, and Quinto designer chair, and Rialto designer chair, but they look absolutely like the original and I am sooooo excited to find this classic chair at an incredibly low price.

the excitement of cheap knock offs?

don't do it joshua. it's all wrong!
that chair design is meant to be quality and last a lifetime, you're not helping the world by buying a crappy chinese knockoff from cheap wood/leatherette and built by kids -
they also do an aluminium group knockoff! tut tut. there are good repros out there if you must go down that route - but it makes my stomach turn to see the crappy ones

I've got this 70's Danish comfy chair if anyone is interested.
I thought'd I'd offer it up to the forum before it makes its way to the fleabay.
Looking for about £110

I'm looking for a 60s/70s Gplan sideboard, if anyone has anything interesting? As close to 200cm length as you can get...

There's a couple who have a stall on Greenwich market on Saturdays, next to the cinema who have just the thing.
Good price an all.
A steel.

I was sorely tempted and would've plumped for it if I didn't already have far too much dark wood in us house.

Thanks for that. I'm in a quandry - Greenwich or the bike jumble? frets

also have some nice industrial style stools - 25quid (5 in total)

anyone interested in these before i chuck em on ebay ?

You might get more money by dodging the bay and approaching a couple of shops direct.
Peanut Vendor in Newington Green maybe...?

sadly i am oop north

Ahhh...
OK.

There's a couple of decent sellers in Yorkshire, and one or two in Manchester mind.

in harrogate near leeds... you?

I'm in London's trendy London, but I have bought a couple of pieces from sellers in Yorkshire.

I'll dig out their contact deets if you fancy...?

o yeha, definitely be handy - thanks!

You should do with the mark up they charge! Nice stuff sometimes but far too pricey.

Agreed, they are waaaay overpriced and a bit hit and miss.

That's why I thought they might be good to sell to. If things look a bit 'vintagey' their eyes light up and you can squeeze them for cash money.

Hello there. Its not G-Plan but I have a lovely 1970s Danish sideboard in teak and rosewood (197cm long) for sale if you're interested? It's recently restored so I'm asking £400 for it. Do get in touch by emailing 20thcenturyraven@gmail.com or check out my ebay shop - my new hobby-turned-career! Cheers, Sophie
