I'm looking into buying this chair from a guy. I feel like I've seen it before or one like it but can't remember anything about it. It probably isn't anything special but if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm thinking mid to late 1940's, I had one similar that I parted with last summer.

Where are you located?
I've seen a design like this, produced for Knoll by Decoene/Belgium but I believe they were clearly marked on the metal tube.

I found a Milo Baughman design that it is very similar to it, doesn't look to be the same though. I'm getting him to send me a couple more pictures.
Edit: Came across this on 1stdibs. Looks to be identical to the one he has.

The Baughman attributed chairs in this style all seem to have arms that are integrated with the legs. I can't seem to get the words FRONT PORCH out of my head, thinking of mass-market Viko-Baumritter sort of stuff, but this looks like better quality than that though, I bet it's pretty heavy. Is it pretty heavy? I'd say fifty bucks at a thrift store, sure, zillion bucks on 1stdibs, nein!
It'd be nice to see the underside and back.
