The actual name of this chair is way less sexy than its more popular nickname, the Eames "Eiffel" chair, as the base's design recollects the iconic Paris landmark.
The dimensions of this replica, sold in a set of two, are accurate within an inch of the original, though the seat isn't as elongated and doesn't have the same sleek silhouette. Still, the legs are similarly angled and tapered, and it comes in 10 color options. It also gets high marks from customers, with an average user rating of 4.5 stars.

Subtle details are what make this ergonomic office chair a standout replica of the Eames Aluminum Group Chair. The back isn't as wide as the original and the base and armrests lack the heft of its pricier partner; however, the seat has a similar design to the Eames version, with embossed ribbing and a rolled finish at the top and front, along with a polished chrome back bar.
The seat is also height adjustable and swivels 360 degrees, and the base features five casters, true to the original design. Plus, it comes in 19 color options.
