Is anyone aware of any knock off dining sets?
im going to go take a look at this dining set which looks to be a hans olsen, but wanted to get some knowledge of what to look for to determine if its original? or if there are any replicas out there

it seems yours is made out...
it seems yours is made out of stained oak or beech, I don't know if this was an option on the originals.
also the curves and finish looks to be off and a bit chunky.

looks
like one of the vintage reproductions to me. For one thing, it appears to be missing the skirt along the undersurface of the table where the chair backs would meet when tucked under. All of the copies that I have seen are missing the skirt.

Definitely
not an riginal.
Lacks the table skirt and the correct joints to the chair backs, as well as possessing rather more chunky legs.
