I've had my eye on the Eames LCW for several years now. This may come as a lemming move since a couple of my friends also own this chair and it's totally drool-worthy, but the desire to own a piece of design history hasn't waned a bit. Now that I have the means to buy this chair, what's the hesitation?

Pros:
It looks good
High resale value (probably appreciates in value if kept in good condition)
Lots of online sellers having sales in time for the holidays
Price will go up 5% in 2007

Cons:
Might not be comfortable
$$$
Takes up space
$$$

too expensive for a chair (I think), but if you are gonna buy it, i'd get the red

Ooh, pretty! I like the red one best (no surprise there). But you should make sure it's comfortable first -- otherwise it's just an expensive decoration.

I've sat on it a few times and it's pretty comfortable, but that's only for a few minutes. I wonder if it's something I can sit in for two hours, say, watch a movie or something.

it's a no brainer. the chair is a work of art, and they are quite comfortable - to me at least.

i'm partial to the red.

If you haven't already... I'd suggest trying it out first (for comfy factor) before you drop the cash.
