I spent a good amount of time on Sohnne’s website trying to choose a great piece of furniture that would fit in my modern but smaller space. The chair I ordered is the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman (Premier Tall version) in Ivory White Leather/Walnut Wood. There's a few different wood finishes and you can choose from black or white leather as well. I have to say I was also crushing pretty hard on the Togo Chair replica and the CH25 woven lounge chair replica too, so my decision was a tough one.
Shipping
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect before the chair arrived-just about one week after my order. When delivery day came, one large box smaller box were delivered to my door. I tore into both immediately. The smaller box houses all of the metal parts and fittings for putting the chair together, well the larger box contains the four pieces of the chair. Everything is well packed in foam to keep it from getting scratched, dented or ripped.
Assembly
Assembling the chair was a lot easier than I thought. The ottoman goes together in a minute; just bolt on the 4-legged stand. For the chair, the back, which looks like it’s two pieces but it already connected, attaches to the seat with thick and immovable steel brackets and bolts, and while it doesn't look like it should hold together, I can 100% confirm that it does.
With the shell of the seat in place, I assembled the base stand. Then all I had left to do was add the arms.
Hilariously, I only realized after I finished the assembly and taking a seat for a few minutes, that I had put the arms on backwards! Just like the original version, the hardware should be completely invisible in the finished chair, so husband Roger and I flipped the arms around to their correct position and were rewarded with a beautiful, comfortable chair.
Build quality and comparison to original
I have to say I have been extremely impressed by the quality of this chair. I did a lot of research before my order about how to measure the quality of this particular chair. In short, you don't want things like screws simply driven right through the wood and into the fabric. Ideally quality replica should be faithful to the original design.
While I was assembling it I actually noticed how weighty and substantial the pieces feel. The wood is beautiful and solid and doesn't look like glue-lam, or that it will split along the edges. The leather covering the seats feels thick and substantial while at the same time being smooth and supple. There's leather piping along the edges where the fabric meets the wood, and leather covered buttons punctuate the seat, back and ottoman, but they are driven in far enough that you don't feel them when you sit down on them.
The colour on the wood I chose, a light walnut, is perfect for my space, and seems evenly applied and the overall feel is silky smooth.
Even the metal bases for the chair and ottoman feel like solid steel with a nice brushed silver finished on top. Each of the small feet goes in on a screw so that makes each one individually adjustable.
There is absolutely no visible hardware on the chair, so it looks just like it marched off the pages of a 1960s Architectural Digest magazine.
Comfort
This chair it shelf is insanely comfortable. Because of the odd angle the chair sits at I wasn't sure if this would be comfortable for long stretches. I'm so glad to find out that it is. Whether I was reading the morning news, or watching TV, the chair is beyond comfortable. Perhaps that down in part to the fact I ordered the taller frame.
Even husband Roger has fallen in love and has even coined the term WFC or "work from chair”, to describe how much more time he is spending in this chair as well.
The amazing thing about this replica is that it makes you comfortable whether you prefer to sit up and read, or lounge back and relax. It's kind of hard to describe how it can make both things comfortable… But I guess that's the secret of a good design and probably why this chair has become so iconic.
