It's probably comfortable if you are short.

You know, all my life I wanted the Eames lounge chair. and when I got to the point where I could afford one, wasn't quite what I thought it would be really. £5k in the UK and you know what the kids would draw on it anyway.
In the end I went for the Balzac for half the price and way more compfortable...

I'm looking for a super comfortable chair, any suggestions that rival the eames for around the price of a repro

i have an old reproduction which is pretty comfortable, and a new nock off that is not nearly as comfortable. neither is as good a sit as an original eames.

i have to agree on the not really comfy fact. you can't really rest your head for example. one of the best design pieces ever though.

Wayne Coyne of the flaming lips also has my ply craft chair but he couldn't even afford the ottoman...

this should fetch a few more bucks when I include it in my craigslist ad.

They are terribly comfortable. The new ones use foam whereas the older (original) runs used down. All the same, the new ones are very well made and very comfortable.
My only issue is that there are so many knock offs of this chair. Sure its a classic, but there are many others out there for the same price that are not so common.
Check out Ligne Roset, B&B Italia, or even Roche Bobois.
I picked up this gorgeous chair for around 3600 USD, slightly cheaper than the Eames. Made of Alcantara as well, super elegant and contemporary.
- also, Ligne Roset custom makes everything so you can pick almost any color/fabric they offer. Downside: 4 month turnaround.formula

you can get pretty good quality knockoffs from http://www.evincodesign.com/. they have pics of the actual product on their flickr as well. i might buy the pk31 sofa from them because i am never going to have $30k+ to buy the real thing, or even a used one.
