Hello Newton81, You're not alone... There are few of us who can afford what we really want .. So.. Given that you understand that replica means just that.. You are getting more or less what you pay for.. things can still be made well but not carry the "name" but it's true... Some replicas or copies are not made that well.. So it's wise to look around.. The other thing to consider too is that things are often priced because of the "name" So.. It's good to really look carefully and think on exactly what it is you're spending for.... Useful chair or the name! (yes beauty and design..) Sometimes a copy is as good as the real thing.. and if it means having more in the pocket, then even better... Who said a rolex had to be real! It's cool 2 b a copy! : ) ) Clients come with all manner of ideals and budgets.. big and small.. So finding ways to achieve the look they want at the price the wallet can afford is something that has to be considered.. I have picked 2 with an addition of an armchair.. I think it's nice to have an armchair for the heads of the table.. but maybe you don't like that idea... see the link below.. It's not Vitra! but... See what you think... Look at the returns policy and materials.. then decide which way you want to go.. ask about damages etc and weigh up the cost of a copy vs the real deal... My big love is the Cherner chair... I'd love both of them : ) ) http://www.swiveluk.com/uk/charles-eames-style-dsw-abs-plastic-chair.html Guests http://www.swiveluk.com/uk/charles-eames-style-daw-abs-plastic-chair.html for the heads of the table.. Maybe you buy 3 copies for the price of 1 original.. Then you replace gradually..

Live edge suar wood dining table with steel base suitable for your home, restaurant and cafe, this table made use the best suar wood materials and worked by professional carpenters.

I am definitely with you on that Bubbles, I love using reclaimed timber for furniture projects. I have just finished using old concrete shuttering wood to make a top for an old metal cafe table frame, the frame is now covered in jute rope and string which is sealed and varnished.

Sand entire table back with a fine sandpaper. Vacuum up dust and wipe down with a slightly damp tacky cloth. If this is to be used as a dining table you should finish with something hardwearing e.g; Osmo top oil, polyurethane varnish.
