Check out the title of this auction.
People blast certain large companies for promoting crap furniture.However; they should focus more on individuals that try mislead the unlearned with ad titles like this.

Chairs
"THEY ARE AUTHENTIC MIDCENTURY MODERN ERA EAMES NELSON BY THE GLOBAL UPHOLSTERY CO. DOWNVIEW, ONT. CANADA."
Erm, just a slight contradiction of terms there. An item could be "Nelson", "Eames", or "Global Upholstery", but certainly no more than one of the three (and I'll bet that anyone who reads this forum will have no trouble figuring out which of the three these are...)
Unfortunately, this is one of those Power Sellers that eBay is so enamored of, so good luck getting eBay to do anything about it.

Looks to me
that they were lovingly produced by the
Piece of Crap Office Designers League, Car Wash and Cremetorium Corporation of Rats Nest City, Nevada.
or something like that!!
Don't you love how much moxy some people have? These are the kind of chairs one would find in a Church basement or in a welfare office across the country. I've seen chairs like these in Goodwill and Salvation Army stores too.

It's just innocent keyword-spamming
Ebay allows "Eames" keyword spamming, why not "Nelson"?
Anyone clueless enough to be mislead by the keywords deserves to own these chairs.
