Test your knowledge and god help me hahaha... Just picked this up for $2,000
Leather is smooth, they said it was genuine Herman Miller. The underside of both the chair and ottoman have small, metal rectangular labels with the HM logo and "Eames" written next to it. It says it was made in 2011
Anything jump out?

Looks real.The only off thing is the last picture which makes the chair look disproportionate. But the rest seems pretty spot on. Can you post some pix of the veneer too? Saw this eBay listing as well. How did you get it at such good price? Congratzzz!!

Looks real to me. The smooth leather might be the new MCL leather. It will develop a more pronounced grain once it gets some use.

For the sake of friendly argument, I'd think the leather is standard black leather. What do the numbers say on the bottom of the chair? Again, $2,000 sounds pretty good.
