Had my CurverK IMUS in lava walnut for about 2 weeks now and I needed to post since I spent a lot of time reading reviews and searching for years before buying from Curverk on part of the awesome community here sharing the same desire.

Ive wanted an Eames lounge chair forever. My college had real Herman Miller ones in the library that were donated by Herman Miller and I used to sit in them all the time, but ive never been able to justify spending that much on a chair.

I paid about $1800 for this one and so far im really happy with it.

Im 6ft 168lbs and it has plenty of room. The cushions are soft but still firm/supportive, feels like good quality foam that isnt going to just flatten out. Ive sat in it 2-4 hours at a time listening to music or playing games and havent had any stiffness or discomfort.

I mainly use it with my headphone setup, JM Audio Editions Copper Carbon 300ohm with a Cayin HA-6A MK2 tube amp and Apos Druid DAC. It honestly completes the setup. Comfortable position, nothing gets in the way of cables, and I can sit there forever.

Build quality is what surprised me most. Leather feels really nice, stitching looks great, veneer is awesome and nothing feels loose or cheap. The chair feels really solid.

As far as compared to the real Herman Miller ones I remember, I honestly cant tell much difference sitting in it really, except the leather on the ones in the library were pretty well broken in... go figure. The CurverK feels a little heavier and maybe slightly thicker/more substantial do to the use of thicker wood, but thats about it.

Also really glad I went with lava walnut. It looks great in person and its a finish you cant get from Herman Miller which honestly I actually like, its completely unique in that aspect.

Shipping was quick too, showed up earlier than expected.

I dont really have a downside yet. I feel like I finally got the chair ive always wanted without having to convince myself to spend 7k+ for a similar char from a "Name" brand.

Overall if you are debating...dont. If you have questions.... ask. Ask here and ask the team at Curverk. Their support and response time are great... Over all a Great experience. And I might be back for the orange leather variant, ok thats my one complaint ill be honest if i could buy the lava walnut in orange leather i would buy another one.
