Website finds cheap knockoffs of pricey designer furniture

Dupe-stuff of iconic designs, which are “iconic” for numerous reasons, is so icky. It also seems 180-degrees contrary to the ethos of this site. Horrifically poorly executed ones I think could get an exception, for the larfs.

And that particular item, the chair, is still made in Zeeland/Holland MI. Expensive, yes - and worth it. Hella robust, our nook of the big infamous bomb lab/movie set had five early-1980s editions of them around our coffee/complain/brainstorm table. They got flopped down into dozens of times a day. Excepting a few trivial replacements of some rubber bits, I expect them to still be in use for many more decades.
