what is ever not to like about Eames?

Not only do they use modern furniture they use vintage when ever possible. They use vintage Bauer thru out, which looks great with their food. And their food always taste fresh and tasty.

About 6 months ago i was checking out the DWR on Columbus Ave. and I made the mistake of asking the salesperson if she had seen the Eames chairs with the dowels. Firstly, she pretended like she had never heard of such a thing, which, while possible i find hard to believe since she presumably is up on her furniture knowledge, fakes or not. Then she gave me the whole, "they're not Eames chairs" lecture, which i knew but i worded my question incorrectly to her. she was such a snob i didnt bother to explain that. suffice it to say, i actually prefer the knock offs with the dowels.

didnt mean to go off on a rant against DWR, but there you go.

The people at DWR are clueless and they don't care. Half the products that they sell are copies (fakes), but they don't talk about that.
