	title of this thread your message I am not sure it is a fair analysis to equate a chair to a car tire. i am not sure a furniture manufacturer would lean on a crutch like that. That comparison would be better for fabrics and finishes on a chair, parts that are expected to have wear, i think. The standard i use is other high end chairs, either contemporary to the 670 or earlier. i can not think of any others that routinely fail like that from normal use. unless eames wanted to make a chair into a maintenance item (i seriously doubt it) then it is definitely a design flaw. But obviously the 670 has other redeeming qualities. i have no problem appreciating the innovative use of shockmount systems while at the same time rueing the fact that it causes them to be shorter lived compared to chairs made other ways. of course it is a design flaw, but no one seems to care enough to stop buying them. now that is the most brilliant part about them. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
