I've got one for you. Brought my daughter to daycare. Noticed the outside door of their shed attic blown out by wind and inside I saw a glimpse of Eames fiberglass chairs.

I made a remark that those are quite expensive chairs to be standing in the attic. They took them down and appeared to be 1955 originals in nearly pristine condition. They've found these chairs years ago when someone clearing a house put them out for trash. They had 10 of them. I got a bottle of Champagne to thank me after they sold them to a collector.

I would say that they are good value for money but those soles tend to be their weak spot. If you use them for regular office use they'll last bit outdoor they lose chips. They are nearly unreplaceable because there's no welt, the leather is flanged and sewn onto the sole directly so if the sole wears out the game's over. I love them but it don't feel they suit the BIFL label. And after all, proper care is an important part of BIFL.
