I found a design forum that has a discussion on this going back for years - http://www.designaddict.com/forum/General-discussion/Eames-for-Vitra-vs-Eames-for-Herman-Miller-question

I purchased two Eames kounge chairs with ottomans in January, 2019 from Modteriors They arribed within a couple of weeks. My husband and a friend who have assembled a multitude of "put it together furniture" spent several hours on one chair but were unable to put the arms together. The drilled holes just didn't match up. They did get it put togther enough for us to realize that the chair just simply wasn't a good fit for us. Too low to the ground and difficult to get in and out of. Since we had opened all the boxes (mistake), we had to repackage them in order to ship they back. We made every effort to make sure each piece was protected by foam, etc. The cost to ship back by FEDEX was o ver $400. Modteriors informed us that the shipment was damaged and nothing was salvageable and we would have to file a claim with FEDEX. They sent us pictures of the punctured boxes and a few photos of damage inside. You guessed it. FEDEX denied our claim because we did not pack it exactly as we had received it. Cost of this little mistake was over $2500. Were any of the items salvageable? Who knows. Modterior is in New York and we live in California. Was the upgraded leather ripped to shreds and totally ruined. I think not. A hard lesson to learn. In retrospect I would have tried to put them together or tried to sell them at a discounted price to recover some of my money. Modterior was very polite and responsive to my questions, etc. Having said that, I would never buy anything from them again.
