Questions About Most Expensive African Chair
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
    Eames chairs are so expensive for a couple of reasons. First, Eames chairs feature fine materials, such as leather and wool, which are costly to source. Each chair is also made by hand, which makes manufacturing Eames chairs costlier than producing furniture that is made by machine. In addition, demand for the chairs is often greater than supply, driving up prices. Find a selection of Eames chairs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Herman Miller Aeron chairs are so expensive because these chairs provide a tremendous amount of ergonomic support and offer relief of any stress that might accumulate as a result of long periods of sitting. Its mesh support and innovative tilt mechanism make it well worth the money, especially if you spend a lot of time at your desk.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
    Howard chairs are so expensive largely due to their quality. The British furniture maker produces each piece to order using carefully selected upholstery, wood and padding. Skilled artisans painstakingly perform much of the manufacturing by hand, adding to the cost of pieces. Plus, demand for the furniture tends to be high, which also drives up the selling price. Shop a collection of Howard & Sons chairs on 1stDibs.
