What our clients say.
"A beautiful repair to our iconic Eames lounge chair. After the shock mount repair, we had Olek restore upholstery and the original rosewood – looks spectacular! Wonderful customer service."
"Shipped my 1970s Eames from California. Olek replaced all shock mounts and repaired a cracked shell. Chair came back looking better than the day my father bought it."
"Professional from start to finish. They diagnosed the issue from photos, gave me an honest quote, and the turnaround was faster than expected. My chair feels brand new."

Still Wondering?
Eames Chair repair questions we hear every week.
"How long will it take? I can't be without my chair for months."
Most repairs take 3–6 weeks. Shock mount replacement can be faster. We give you a timeline upfront and stick to it.
"Will restoration affect the originality and value?"
The opposite. A professionally restored Eames retains or increases in value. We preserve original materials wherever possible – we don't replace what doesn't need replacing.
"Can I just DIY the shock mounts?"
You can try, but one mistake cracks the shell. Removing and reinstalling mounts requires specialized tools and experience. A cracked shell costs far more to repair than professional mount replacement.
"Should I just buy a new one instead?"
A new Herman Miller Eames starts at $7,000+. Professional restoration is a fraction of that cost and preserves the character and patina of your original chair.
