Hi everyone,

while searching the webs for a walnut Eames DCW chair, I stumbled upon this offer from a store called "Ultimate Backstore":
http://ultimatebackstore.stores.yahoo.net/eames-plywood-dining.html

$349 for an original Herman Miller DCW sounds too good to be true - or is it?

Has anyone heard of or dealt with the store and would care to comment? Thanks!

DCWood
You're watching out for a DCW = WOOD chair...right ?
Please note the $ 200 markup for wooden legs.
This price is for DCM = metal only.
Same deal as almost everywhere.

Oops
Wow, that's what happens when you have a hundred tabs open and just glance over pages. Thanks!
I still consider $549 a pretty good deal and will most likely go for it.

I believe....
this website is connected with Home Office Solutions, which is a legal Herman Miller dealer...in fact one of the biggest.

In fact...
I'm positive that UBS is a legimate Herman Miller dealer, au-go-go.

Highbrow Furniture
I can't say enough good things about Highbrow Furniture and have done several transactions with them. No tax, free shipping and the quickship items(is stock) arrive at your door(USA) in about a week. They have the DCW for quickship and they run $599, worth the extra $50 to have them quick(At least to me). What color are you looking for, Ultimate back store charges more for select finishes.

Hive too
You can add Hive. I wanted a square Eames table. Highbrow doesn't show this on their website, although I found out they chould order it.
Instead, I found it at Hive and since it was special order, I got it in two weeks. Also, no tax and free shipping.
