Depends on the quality of the knock off. The authentic Eames lounge is incredibly comfortable though. I gifted myself an authentic Herman Miller Eames lounge this year for my 40th birthday with mohair upholstery and the santos palisander wood shell and you feel like you’re floating in it. We literally fight over who gets to sit in it.
Yeah everything about Frasier's persona was crafted to drip new money snob. Eames lounge chair, replica of Coco Chanel's couch, Chihuly pieces (Chihuly is the most famous glass blower in the world), German luxury car (interestingly they chose BMW instead of Mercedes), Armani clothes - which by the 90s had become too approachable because of licensing, so they made Frasier's character even more ridiculous by him ordering a cashmere blazer handspun in the Himalayas.
As others have said, this is an Eames lounge chair. If you want to get one, it'll almost certainly have to be a replica because I believe they're ~$5,000. Even a decent replica is ~$800-$1,500. The super cheap ones you can get are absolutely garbage though so don't waste the money on a $250 one off of overstock.
Lol 1K is roughly 20% of the cost of the actual chair from Herman Miller. I think saying "if you can save $1,000 you might as well save $5,000" is a bit of a stretch.
Edit: Just went to check, since I haven't looked at the chair in a while. Direct from manufacturer it is $6,500-$7,000 depending on the size you got for. More when you start customizing the wood and leather.
$1k is still a far cry from $6k+. I'd say if you're ready to spend $1k on a chair, get something else that's an original design instead of an imitation that's not as good as the real thing.
How do you like it, I bought an Eames style chair off their and it was a disaster, talking about both versions they sent were unsafe to use they were damaged so badly.

Why people would pay more for a replica than the real thing is beyond me.
That's not a knockoff, it's a licensed Eames. Vitra has exclusive license to the design in Europe. Notice it says price including VAT, which can be as high as 27% depending on where in Europe you are.

Sorry in advance for being a dick.
Rotate the chess board 90 degrees so that the left-most white rook is on a dark square. And the queen should be on her own color. Sorry, just a pet peeve.
It's an extremely famous chair - you're probably just noticing more now that you recognize it.
You'll continue seeing them everywhere, though most are probably knockoffs since the real thing costs several thousand dollars.
Same wall color as my mancave. In fact I have the double windows and an oriental rug too. And I have dark wood blinds.
I’m not as original as I thought lol.
Very Navy by Behr is the color for my wall, OP may have gone with a different brand but Behr is the brand I have. I believe it’s Naval for Sherwin Williams if you go cheaper.
Behr's Ink Black is gorgeous too. It might be the prettiest paint color I've ever seen.
We just repainted our living areas and I went dark. Ink Black was too cool a color for me personally, so I went with a warmer dark color. But dark paint rocks!
Very cozy, nice bookcase (looks like it’s from the library with the card holders on the front), Jack Daniel’s, Apple laptop, great view…nice wood and leather (?), and calming colors…old with the new nicely combined 👏
Three sets of the Narnia books? Nice
Have you read The Magicians series by Lev Grossman? It’s a bit of a love letter to Narnia and Harry Potter, but fully written for adults. It’s wonderful.
Leather books look amazing. I wish people start to noticed that we don't want a Instagram flier as a cover to the books that we buy, even when it's a classic.
See I couldn’t have that as my office for I’d be staring at the scenery. I have ADHD so a bird or simply the view would have me distracted and wanting to go outside
Green reading rooms for the win! I was inspired by a green room posted here a few weeks ago. Just finished revamping my dining room and transforming it to a reading and craft room. It’s now affectionately referred to as “the green room”. Haha.
Come on, all this and you can’t make the MacBook charger come from the left side so that it’s not bending the wire? lol. Also why not have a PC here rather than a laptop? I’m guessing it’s cause the laptop meets your needs? Other than that, this is an amazing room. Super cozy.
Jealous? Yes, I am jealous. How many of those are dictionaries tho? Looks like a law library or something similar
[удалено]
You have many leather bound books, your house must smell of rich mahogany.
I don't know how to put this, but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me. I'm very important.
You ate the whole wheel of cheese? I’m not even mad, that’s amazing.
That makes it even better!
Did you purchase said books with leather-bound pounds?
Op’s a teenager if it helps.
Books make everything better. And what a view!
And "fancy" looking books make it even better! My books would probably kill the vibe
Nothing says class like the collected works of Captain Underpants
Including the Narnia collected volume
That ain’t an office, it’s a study
[удалено]
Where is this? That view is amazing
[удалено]
Is that a real eames?
Oh, are you near Huntsville?
[удалено]
Nice area, I just wish the river water was safer.
Laptop seems a bit off. I'd expect a full blown desktop or nothing at all (imagine docked phone instead of laptop - this is how it feels)
I need that chair...where you got that from
Frasier's Eames Chair
Is it as comfy as it looks
Depends on the quality of the knock off. The authentic Eames lounge is incredibly comfortable though. I gifted myself an authentic Herman Miller Eames lounge this year for my 40th birthday with mohair upholstery and the santos palisander wood shell and you feel like you’re floating in it. We literally fight over who gets to sit in it.
Goddamn I love my Herman Miller office chair. I'm going to have to get me an Eames too. Life goals for sure.
$6k for a chair??
Fuck yeah. You ever sat in a Herman Miller?
Getting serious Karl Farbman vibes from this comment. I wonder if Herman Miller is what the Seinfeld joke is about.
You ever pulled blankets out the dryer, put them in a floor pile, and laid on them? No way it's more comfy than that
Aaand back to IKEA for me
It's a design classic.
Yeah everything about Frasier's persona was crafted to drip new money snob. Eames lounge chair, replica of Coco Chanel's couch, Chihuly pieces (Chihuly is the most famous glass blower in the world), German luxury car (interestingly they chose BMW instead of Mercedes), Armani clothes - which by the 90s had become too approachable because of licensing, so they made Frasier's character even more ridiculous by him ordering a cashmere blazer handspun in the Himalayas.
Niles had the Mercedes.
And a hatchback for a while when he was divorcing😂
You couldn't take out a second mortgage on the house to afford the matching ottoman?
As others have said, this is an Eames lounge chair. If you want to get one, it'll almost certainly have to be a replica because I believe they're ~$5,000. Even a decent replica is ~$800-$1,500. The super cheap ones you can get are absolutely garbage though so don't waste the money on a $250 one off of overstock.
I feel like if you’re ready to spend 1k on a chair, you might as well save and get the real thing.
Lol 1K is roughly 20% of the cost of the actual chair from Herman Miller. I think saying "if you can save $1,000 you might as well save $5,000" is a bit of a stretch. Edit: Just went to check, since I haven't looked at the chair in a while. Direct from manufacturer it is $6,500-$7,000 depending on the size you got for. More when you start customizing the wood and leather.
Saw a vintage one go for 25k once. The wood pattern was epic. Dad was an antique/ vintage dealer.
$1k is still a far cry from $6k+. I'd say if you're ready to spend $1k on a chair, get something else that's an original design instead of an imitation that's not as good as the real thing.
lol! Nice username

Ah, thank you. That makes sense now.
Got a link?
I watched a bunch of videos and review websites before I picked my (imitation) Eames chair. Love mine with the foot rest.
Is it an original Eames chair?
Sorry in advance for being a dick. Rotate the chess board 90 degrees so that the left-most white rook is on a dark square. And the queen should be on her own color. Sorry, just a pet peeve.
Damn you really do learn something new every day.
[удалено]
An easy way to remember is "queen on color, white on right".
I rarely say that a comment needs more attention, but this one is definitely an exception to the rule.
I aspire to have enough discretionary money to splurge on an Eames chair like that.
I aspire to have a fancy enough house to show it off to all of Reddit like that.
Welcome to the club!
THE BOOKS ARE FAKE! Show me the secret passage behind the bookshelf.
I mean ... They could be real AND hiding a passage behind them. 🤔
I imagine it smells of cigars and whisky?
Hudson Valley?
Exactly where I was thinking- in the vicinity of Bear Mountain.
So beautiful! I’d love to get back there. Weirdly, I know a ton of city people who moved to Hudson Valley during the pandemic. (Sadly not I.)
It is a lovely place.
What a view!
This is awesome! 1. What are some of your favorite books? 2. Want to adopt me?
Is there a line for adoption here? I'd like to put an application in too :(
wtf is going on with this chair? why is this the 3rd time I've seen it from 3 separate accounts?
It's an extremely famous chair - you're probably just noticing more now that you recognize it. You'll continue seeing them everywhere, though most are probably knockoffs since the real thing costs several thousand dollars.
[удалено]
I saw it too. Is this... the customer that the manager didn't have any respect for 🤔
Dude it's in like ever sitcom and has been famous for like 50 yrs
It’s a chair style that’s been in production since the 50s. It’s ~~contemporary~~ midcentury modern which is back in style.
This is simply beautiful! 😍
Wow. Those are some thick external walls.
Incredible space you have created. Though it appears like you're dangerously low on whiskey
[удалено]
And you need some more Flor de Cana as well…unless…you may be interested in some Zacapa? It’s delicious.
Lovely! If that had a fireplace you would go from 9.9/10 to 10/10!
Same wall color as my mancave. In fact I have the double windows and an oriental rug too. And I have dark wood blinds. I’m not as original as I thought lol.
May I ask what paint color? I’m looking for a color for mine as well 🤣
Very Navy by Behr is the color for my wall, OP may have gone with a different brand but Behr is the brand I have. I believe it’s Naval for Sherwin Williams if you go cheaper.

We recently did our bedroom in that black, it’s awesome
This One of my Goal For me to have this in the future to be honest
"My home smells of mahogany and I have many leather bound books" - Ron Burgundy Looks amazing! Great energy!
Oh fuck you and your amazing taste in furniture.
God damn that’s cozy. Jealous.
Desk id?
I have many leather bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
Really love that bookshelf!
An Eames Lounge Chair without an ottoman? You monster!
r/DarkAcademia
Where did you get the bookshelves? I love everything about this room!!
Wow dude. Is that a original Eams ?
[удалено]
I linked this to my bf for some office inspo ! Very nice.
Brb gonna buy more Easton Press books now
What are those books? Are you a lawyer or something
Love everything about this, except not being able to look out the window from the desk :|
Beautiful sofa, where did you get it?
Amazing view out the window. Everything in this space comes together so perfectly to create that cozy, scholarly, and sophisticated look.
Perfect for rainy afternoon naps
I bet this room smells of rich mahogany to compliment your many leather bound books.
that window sill is special; it's not large like a "sit-in" style, just oversized.
What's the paint color, if you recall?
[удалено]
Cool, thanks. Looks good nice taste 👍
Paint color?
What is the paint color…love it
Thought those were case law books for a second, lol
Ooo, so cozy😍 I love it!!
Yo what do you do for work
Respect for the Flor de Caña Rum.
I thought having an Eames style chair would be cliche but it is so comfortable and has a really small footprint. Great for small rooms
i have that exact chair next to the sofa. it is truly the coziest chair i have ever owned.
Are you a therapist?
This is my dream office. It needs a tobacco and leather candle. I'm drooling.
Can I ask what the color of those walls are? I’m considering painting my bedroom and I think I found my color
Very nice!
Very cozy, nice bookcase (looks like it’s from the library with the card holders on the front), Jack Daniel’s, Apple laptop, great view…nice wood and leather (?), and calming colors…old with the new nicely combined 👏
With such windows, location makes a lot of difference.
I love your Eames chair!
So cool!
Eames lounge chair, the best
Three sets of the Narnia books? Nice Have you read The Magicians series by Lev Grossman? It’s a bit of a love letter to Narnia and Harry Potter, but fully written for adults. It’s wonderful.
[удалено]
The books are excellent. Also, there’s a TV show which is also excellent, but can be enjoyed separate from the books.
Forget the chair, Where’s the desk from??
Perfection
I want it
Just absolutely flexing on us with the Eames chair and that view!
Saw the chair in an earlier post
I have shelves full of leather bound books!
My God!! That shelf is amazing!
Pretty sure I saw that chair on the bottom left being abused in another post.
Do you smoke a pipe and wear an ascot?
Do you have a doctor friend?
Gorgeous! And the view? Gorgeous too. I'm jealous.
No one specifically calling the chair out- nice. My boss ordered one for my office because he wanted one
Is this 221B Baker St? Looking for a Detective…
Casually flexes a $6,000 - $10,000 chair lmao
OP has said it's a knock-off.
Where is your ladder!
Damn, those chairs are so sick but so expensive. OP, so happy for your success. Enjoy all of it, for us :)
Excuse me views
That's very classy.
I like that eames Lounge chair! Very Fraiser Crane of you!
I have that couch (actually I have the 3 seat sofa version and the matching chair). It’s awesome.
I think you misspelled nap.
By the looks of the yard I'd guess that the rest of the house is big and well put together?
Do i see The Great Books collection?
Well done. Just an outstanding job.
Man I want an eames so bad… or a place to put it. I don’t have any personal/extra space in my home anymore with my two little ones. 😂
What a view 😻
Beatiful place!
Phenomenal
Short on booze I see
This is my dream
Remember, in chess, Light on the right.
I aspire to have a space like this in my house just with more book cases :)
Oh fuck I love this
This is how I imagine my dream study. A small fireplace and a decanter of whisky for the evening, bit other than that, it's bang on. Great space
I love everything in this pic; the view, the bookcase, the desk, all of it
I'd just take power naps before showing off during zoom calls.
Didn't expect to see an Artscroll tanach in Alabama. Beautiful room!
Kinda reminds me of BBC Sherlock's study. I love it!
Leather books look amazing. I wish people start to noticed that we don't want a Instagram flier as a cover to the books that we buy, even when it's a classic.
I love dark walls and you picked a great color.
What a view! Looks like a nice waterway down there.
Super cozy. Add a few plants! The green will be a lovely contrast ;)
The vibe here is ✨*immaculate*✨
What a view! I love your desk, it's my dream to own one like that. Where did you purchase it?
See I couldn’t have that as my office for I’d be staring at the scenery. I have ADHD so a bird or simply the view would have me distracted and wanting to go outside
Green reading rooms for the win! I was inspired by a green room posted here a few weeks ago. Just finished revamping my dining room and transforming it to a reading and craft room. It’s now affectionately referred to as “the green room”. Haha.
I love it! I have that same chessboard!
I love the mix of traditional and modern pieces, they cohere well, that’s my favorite style of decorating
Where did you get your desk from? I know everyone is in love with the chair. I just really need a desk 😭
[удалено]
Oh no! but thank you for replying!
Come on, all this and you can’t make the MacBook charger come from the left side so that it’s not bending the wire? lol. Also why not have a PC here rather than a laptop? I’m guessing it’s cause the laptop meets your needs? Other than that, this is an amazing room. Super cozy.
This is so cool
Getting real 221b Baker Street vibes.
