Looking for some advice...

I usually stick with HMK or Knoll product but I'm a confused.

Here is the product description from DWR:

"Manufactured by Amat-3 for Knoll according to the exacting specifications of the designer."

http://dwr.com/productdetail.cfm?id=9688

Now here is the description from Eurofurniture:

"...Jamaica Counter Stool by Amat."

DWR cost is $635 and Eurofurniture is $429!

Am I getting the same product cheaper with Eurofurniture?

If you take a peak around the rest of EuroFurniture's site you will see that they have no problem misleading you with their products. The website makes no claims that the products are licensed, merely sticks the name of the original designer next to it. So - you as the consumer think you're getting a deal when you look at places like DWR and see a higher price, when in reality you're getting an inferior, unlabelled product.
Whether the Jamaica stools are actual Amat-3 products are still in question. It could be that Amat has an American distributor and is able to bypass Knoll, but that wouldnt make much sense for Knoll to get involved with them if they were going to do that. I'd be safer than sorry!
