I had restored one of these Eames lounge knock-offs last year. Found another one on craigslist last week for a ridiculously good price so I grabbed it for a friend. I'm redoing it for him [this time in white] to put in his Palm Springs place. Overall it's in great shape - missing a screw here and there but no big. The back support screws have come thru the plywood but that will be an easy fix with some washers:
I've removed the cushions - a hideous butterscotch vinyl with off-white trim[!] and they'll be off to the upholsterors today. More restoration pics coming!
how much, if you dont mind me asking, does it cost to reupholster one of these, i'm sure it varies depending on the material.
ReplyDeleteDon't mind at all - I'm having this one done in a basic textured vinyl. Cost is about $250. Pretty reasonable I think...
