The point is there's value to those who would purchase it, regardless of what the price, as long as it's cheaper than normal. People have no problem with a screaming slick deal if a PS5 was 20%-30% off MSRP, but expensive furniture? Whoa, now, think of the money you're spending /s

To me, this is like that Supreme brand. They could spray the Supreme logo on a Walmart disposable plastic shopping bag, and people would fall all over each other trying to pay $1000 for one.
Then again, I live in North Carolina (grew up near High Point), so I'm a bit of a furniture snob.

The problem is the other ~50% of people in this thread who just post about how they "bought 4 for their cats" or "will spend their family's stimulus checks on it" or any of a hundred other tired "jokes," just because they can't wrap their tiny brains around the concept that just because THEY aren't in the market for something, it doesn't mean OTHER PEOPLE aren't. And, what a shocker, when you check their post histories, none of them have contributed much of anything useful to other threads, either.
Threads like this are the the reason why the 'ignore user' function exists.
OP - thanks for the post. I don't have room for another chair right now or I'd be thinking long and hard about this one.
I don't think anyone has actually sat in the thing for over ten years and it is kept in our loft and collects dust... but my wife says it is worth thousands and it comes from her relatives so she does not want to get rid of it.
I wouldn't call someone buying a Tesla a schmuck either but it's definitely not an investment nor a savings when buying a Tesla. Don't kid yourself, you're not saving the planet by buying a Tesla, if anything you're be causing a future problem (lithium-ion battery waste).
This Eames lounge chair is an awesome chair but it's expensive and out of reach for most. The price is reasonable considering their value does not depreciate much. My friend brought a set over 10 years ago at a DWR outlet for $2500 and I thought he was crazy. Back then a brand new set cost roughly $4500. Considering they are hand build and limit production, they can be a good investment for a furniture.
