What a strange hybrid. I don'...
What a strange hybrid. I don't personally like it. The bulk of the 670 imitation clashes with the delicateness of the Danish Modern(esque) slats in the back. That's my opinion, anyhow.

Oooof.
I can only imagine the thought process that produced this chair: "If a cheap copy of a popular design is good, then an amalgamation of THREE different popular designs will be even better! Like hotcakes it'll sell!"
