The Best Thing I Own
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Obviously iconic and comfortable, but also the best thing I own. I'm a fine home furnishings fanatic and a twenty-something on a budget, so before buying I would seek out Womb Chairs in public spaces to try out and sit in. The differences between the real deals and the knock-offs are pretty apparent. The quality of an authentic chair is well worth the price and I can tell mine will last a lifetime. Also, Knoll's upholstery selection is fantastic and their swatch samples are large, which is helpful when trying to imagine the piece in your space.
I bought my chair during a Knoll Sale when their residential delivery fee is waived--YLiving's white-glove delivery service was excellent and FREE. Two pleasant delivery men carried my chair up a flight of stairs and into my living room, in and out in under 5 minutes. No boxes or packaging materials--amazing! Lead time was a little longer than advertised--took around 13 weeks to receive--but since each piece is custom made, I'll allow it. My chair is in Neutral Classic Boucle fabric.
