	title of this thread your message Everyone: thanks for welcoming me into the fray. Happy to hear that I'm mistaken about the texture of the plastic chairs. If they share the same surface as the Mirra, then they're different than the ones I've seen, which may well have been pre-production models. I do remember that they had sort of a mini-starburst texture, which appeared as an attempt to emulate the random criss-cross strands of fiberglass of the originals. Good to hear that it was abandoned. Also, even though I decry the change in the geometry of the Eiffel base, it was unavoidable (as was the 4-star to 5-star change of the aluminum group). Its original geometry wasn't in compliance with BIFMA standards for stability. That Vitra clock on Ebay really is an odd one. Adding to reactcreative's list of missed details: the stem is the wrong material, shouldn't be recessed in that little divot, and exits the wrong place on the clock. Since we're on the subject of bad Nelson clocks, I'm wondering what the prevailing opinion is on Howard Miller's recent production ball clocks. I was stunned when they (of all companies) got the proportions wrong. Nonetheless, if any company has a proprietary interest in legacy of that clock it's Howard Miller.
