I just won this Plycraft Eames-style lounge and ottoman from Nest Egg Auctions in Meriden, CT. I spotted it a month ago, when I was snooping around the auctioneer’s back room. And finally, on Saturday, the chair went on the block. My brother-in-law placed a remote bid for me, and I won it for $150! It’s a little beaten up, but nothing a little TLC couldn’t fix. Won’t know how much work until I get it though, since it’ll be a while until I’m in Connecticut again.

Speaking of knock-off furniture, I am pretty impressed with the amount of information available at FindMeTheOriginal.com. There are brief write-ups on the history of major designers, as well as detailed videos on how to tell what’s real and what’s fake.
