of the ottoman for their lounge chair? I saw and ottoman in a thrift store today that looked quite like an Eames but about half the size in every dimension.

Maybe there's
a child-sized lounger ? If not, someone at HM is missing a bet !

thanks to both of you...
for the quick response. Now I can stop handwringing for not having bought it. 🙂

Plycraft
Probably was a Plycraft ottoman. I see lots of them at auction, often without their lounge chairs. And they are quite a bit smaller than the Eames ones even though the lounge chairs are about the same size as the Eames.
Always look for exposed screw heads on these chairs. All the knockoffs I've ever seen have them but the Eames never does. It's the quickest way to ID them.

On a separate but similar note
I have been seeing a Japanese company that is making Eames furniture scaled to child size (1/3 original scale I think) I've seen the DCW & LCW and some of the plastic side chairs.
I'm not sure what I'd do with them, but I think they're funny as hell!
