The main bulletpoints on why this is a +$5K chair are:
* Original Midcentury Modern American design icon by de facto designers (Eames)
* Manufactured by licensed partner to original designer's specifications. Knockoffs usually have some slight differences to ease production, but the Eameses were quite deliberate in their design choices, and that typically leads to a worse user experience
* Costly materials and production process
* Made in USA (i think)

It was Manufactured in China, but shipped from NJ and delivered in 3 days. Setup was not quite as easy as a HM Eames would be, it took me about 90 minutes. But I have to say, I was shocked at the quality. It's damn near the exact same chair. Still buttery soft leather, molded plywood, and the same comfort as the HM model. I kept the replica and use it daily with no issues.
If you shop around and buy a quality replica, you'll forget that the HM logo is missing.

Someone earlier in the thread mentioned an eBay seller that no longer carries them, and there's so many crap versions out there, it seems like just picking one and hoping it's good isn't likely to have good results. Any recommendations?
Also, isn't this lifetime returns? Or just 90 days like in the post here?
For the Vincenzia, I don't think it's worth it. It's the lowest quality and you can get it near the same price from a dealer. I the next higher tiers would be Geiger's Bristol leather or MCL. No one can guess what it would be. Those will be worth it though.
