Teddy bears! I am into frogs …. does anyone know of froggy chairs I could use on my camping trips? My most comfortable chair was a $39.95 fake leather recliner, purchased at Montgomery Wards in 1966 when my husband was convalescing from surgery. Recovered twice, new springs the 2nd time. In 2006, I arrived home from work and sank gratefully into this now 'vintage' chair and it gracefully, though noisily, collapsed. Springs, nuts, bolts, shredded innards, and me - scattered all over the living room! So I splurged on a frighteningly expensive modern chair, the second most comfy chair I have had. 6 years later the footrest refused to support my size 7 bare feet. A bolt had sheared off, and the mechanism could not be repaired. Enter the 3rd most comfy, an Ikea Poang, covered with a blanket while awaiting a custom made slip cover. By now, I have accumulated 74 years of aches and pains that often awake me at night; I crawl to the Poang, and snooze happily 'til morning. No photo of the heroic Monkey Ward, chair, but next two pictured.

Thank you! I'm hoping to get away with under $300 per chair. I'm probably needing 12-14 chairs, depending on their width. I love the low back chairs with arms but there isn't a huge selection (I can find) upholstered.

I saw these yesterday on a run through ikea and the thing I noticed about this chair was how close to the floor the seat is... it's really low. If I had of seen your question first I would've sat in the chair to give you my opinion on comfort, but as a fairly tall woman it didn't look promising.

Hi iggs85, I've had my Eames chairs for about 8 years and they still look as good as new (including staying nice and white). They are easy maintenance (just wipe over, I Spray n' Wipe away marks), and I prefer the carver style ones with armrests for more comfort. Its a round and generous chair to sit in, but the moulded plastic is hard, so you might need a cushion for your bum or back if sitting for long periods. I agree with John it's important to buy ones which are well made and sturdy, I haven't had any problems with the screws in mine though I tightened them all when I first got the chairs. I do notice mine still 'creak' when I sit in them, but I have not had to repair or fix any of them since I got them. The furniture place I bought mine from no longer exists but I am sure you could find decent replica models somewhere like Matt Blatt?
