L T.

I recently purchased the Eames "Leather" Lounge Chair and Ottoman knockoff. The photo posted on the site is very deceiving. I called the company to clarify that the color was a Cognac color and the man I spoke to said it was. When I opened the box I found a bright orange chair and ottoman. It doesn't smell or feel like leather! It looks painted with no apparent leather grain! It looks like cheap orange vinyl!
We put it together and sat in it. It is extremely uncomfortable. The angle of the seat was not comfortable! The head rest protrudes forward forcing your head to jet out.
When I called the company and expressed my concerns they said I could return it as long as it came back with the same packaging. Well, the box arrived broken. When I phoned several shipping companies (including UPS and FedEx) since return shipping is not included with the purchase of the chair. They quoted between $500-$1200! So now, I'm stuck with a very uncomfortable orange chair! I told them that their description of the leather was not clear. They claim it is dyed leather. Rather than saying it is coated with a very artificial chalky looking paint. There is no sheen to as leather furniture, belts, hand badges and shoes have. Please save yourself a lot of money and a headache snd DO NOT buy this chair!
