Today i purchased a danish modern chair at a yard sale for 5 dollars. I figured it would atleast be worth 50 or more so i purchased it. after some research i was convinced that it was a poul volther frem Rojle chair. it is stamped Frem Rojle on the bottom.

The chair i purchased looks exactly like the 370 chair however, instead of 4 spindles there is 5...and the back rest is a bit slimmer profile.
I am very concerned that this is a replica or fake from china but honestly the quality looks up to par. But i have been warned that fakes these days are hard to tell. The chair looks right down to a T but the 5 spindles thing makes me feel it is more than likely a fake...
either this is a fake or a rare 5 spindle model 370...
Do you guys know if its real....
(i know with eames chairs some times the 5 prong base means it is real and the 4 prong base means that it is a replica...)
any information would be greatly appreciated!!!

your welcome
it looks a lot better in person. woods nice and dark and the only imperfection is the water damage on the top of the seat. i refinish wood and know several other people who do for a living so im sure i can restore it but if it is fake i would like to not waste my time.
I really hope someone out there can help me...
