	title of this thread your message First: 60 years of experience isnt that long in the grand scheme of things. The Eames lounge chair has only been around for 50 thus far. Second: European craftsmen doesnt hold a lot of weight, especially since the chairs are American made to begin with. And Third: Its not fair to say the shockmounts are poorly designed. What you have is a design based around a new technology. One that has encountered many incarnations over the development and history of the chair, and one that is still fairly solid. Generally speaking it isnt technically the shockmounts that fail but the glue that holds them. Herman Miller has admittedly used many different types of glue and has constantly tried to enhance the strength & durability. Everything gets old, gets damaged, and needs to be repaired - everything. From cars to people. Why should a chair be any different? associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
