That's a bit shit. You can get them off of ebay for £400ish but the quality is hit-and-miss (like bolt holes not lining up so you can't attach the chair to its base).
Also my mum once tried to send one back (to China!) and the company immediately disappeared off the face of the earth. She got her money back through paypal but it's still shit. Come to think of it, I think she might've got to keep the chair too...

like it, is it made out of cheese?

Groupon will be getting a telling-off if this chair is shit.

you could try shiply.com - these things retailed at £450

you can have this one for £75 as i'm not sure which doors it has and it has no hinges!
definitely a bargain and the money will go in the office kitty so it's a good cause too :D

Any idea of shipping cost? they're not exactly something you could bubble wrap and post!

That's bloody awesome.
Anyway - somebody got me this book recently, it's really good, although some of the construction methods are a bit Heath Robinson (like furniture held together with cable-ties):

See if you can get your hands on a steer leather care kit (about £20). Comes with a cleaner and a conditioner. Depending on usage and placement (sunlight etc) clean every 2 months and condition every 6. If its in direct sunlight condition every 3.
http://www.steerleathercare.com/leather-cleaning-productsThe cleaner is just a pure soap solution. Conditioning is the important bit.

This is genius. Looks great too. I'm so in to space saving design like that.
Can't remember where I saw it now but someone had a bookcase fitted to the shape under their stairs.

Shame this thread never took off as a subject.
I know next to nothing about furniture, but have taken an interest in the past couple of years. Apart from the obvious Eames, G Plan, shaker stuff etc, there's a few contemporary companies making or refurbishing nice pieces, and shops that I'm keen on....

At the last agency I worked in October I was using this chair
Herman Miller - SAYL
want.
They're really comfy, but the looks still put a lot of people off. The upholstered version is shite though. Herman Miller chairs seem to have a direct proportionality between fugliness and comfort. I'm sitting on a Celle at the moment and my back's never been happier, wouldn't ever have it in my house though.

Also do not want.
My mother sells Eames Lounge Chairs (and other things) that she has re-covered in fancy designer fabrics. They have a bit of "I saw you coming" about them.
Incidentally I have a very rich Saudi friend whose parents have a holiday home in Nice - it was built and furnished in the 1970s and it has a proper Herman Miller Eames Lounge chair in it, and a wall of bright red modular storage cubes held together with velcro. They also have a full-size gold-plated statue of a puma and lots of other gaudy stuff.
