We have a 60s hand-me-down Eames. It is a very good chair. The build quality is fantastic and stylistically it still holds up. It is truly a "lounge chair" though - almost a semi-recliner. I rarely use it if it's a social situation because it sits back so far. It's amazing for relaxing and watching TV or a movie though. I'm assuming the quality has held up. I've never tried a knock off.
