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..

Personally I think it would annoy me a little, I'd match the chair legs to the table wood I think, or choose metal legs instead (for the chairs). https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-harper-velvet-chair/sand/p3320730  https://www.maisonsdumonde.com/UK/en/p/pink-vintage-chair-with-solid-birch-mauricette-146306.htm

Hi Chelsea, There are quite a few differences to think about, in general engineered is usually what we advice for most of our clients. This type of flooring will be more resistant to moisture and heat. Also, engineered flooring can be "floated" on underlay, whereas solid wood has to be glued or pinned to the subfloor. We tend to use solid wood when it's unfinished and do the sanding and lacquer or oil on site. Although solid wood can be cheaper to buy the fitting process can be slightly more expensive. Do check our blog which has more details: Engineered or Solid Wood Flooring Otherwise give our office a call if you need further clarification. Inner Space Flooring Team

You can’t beat Oak. Timber prices have more or less doubled over the past few months. Oak has beautiful grain but if it’s down to budget then either of the others you suggest would do the job.
