It's not the same. The 3000 chair is much better but for 1/3 the price maybe the sana chair from room and board?

It's a tough style to match for a reasonable cost. I would try Resembl for this task (http://www.resembl.com).

Using Resembl, I found the following products on Room & Board for about $1000:

Not perfect matches, but you might find something that works....

Have you sat in the chair yet?

Vintage, on which it is based. The expense with chairs like this is that with a relatively light frame, it has to have a lot of "object integrity". It's much harder to make something like this than in is a stapled together 2x4 frame with padding and such glued on.

Have you checked your local vintage/antique malls and Craigs List? There are a few vintage Danish (or Danish-style) on our local one ....

Agree to check vintage and consignment shops. The style is very well known and many go on a hunt for them. Buying an original would be my go to. Then you can have it restored/upholstered. Not much yardage required.

I have not sat in the chair, so can't vouch for it's comfort. I like the Room and Board chair and it even comes in a blue! I'll try to look at some vintage shops and see what I can find, I didn't even think to do that. I have to admit though that I am not a good treasure hunter like some of you guys are!

If it makes you feel any better, I would not recommend American Leather for pieces that have as much exposed wood as that chair. We have a fully upholstered AL chair which is fine (I'd rate the quality around B/B+). But I am not thrilled with our 2 AL leather/wood pieces. The wood is not great quality-- we sent back the first ones we got, the wood was split. The replacements were better, but not worth the money, IMO.

I was also going to recommend the Sana chair from Room & Board - if it helps, I can vouch for the fact that it's super comfortable, and the leather is really nice.

Not sure the price point, but I was looking at this manufacturer for seating in my office:

Thank you for all the help. I think I like the Sanna chair, and have it's comfort vouched for is very very helpful. As well as knowing that the original chair isn't worth the $3K price tag! I have ordered two fabric swatches from Room and Board. I put together an olioboard that I will post in a separate thread for feedback.

Good thing I have a 4 day weekend, this decorating feels like a full time job!

Oh and happy thanksgiving everybody!
