I was hesitant for all the same reasons: an unlicensed copy of an iconic piece of furniture; buying furniture in-line without the advantage of sight, touch feel; if I hate it, would I want to go through the hassle of a retail return (first time on-line furniture purchase and first-time purchase from Overstock).
With a great sale and the looming dread of buying furniture in general (too many choices and too much pressure), I made the plunge. I am so glad that I did. Great quality, 2 day free shipping, surprisingly comfortable and guilt free shopping.
I purchased two and have them paired next to a 16th century French refectory table. Magic! I love these chairs!
A+ purchase. Thanks, Overstock!
