Herman Miller Eames Armchair

The Eames shell is ergonomically contoured to support the body's natural curves. While it does not have padding, the flexible nature of the plastic provides a surprising amount of give and comfort for reading or relaxing.

The wooden runners are designed to glide smoothly on most surfaces. If you are placing the chair on hardwood or tile, we recommend using a rug underneath to protect your floors and provide better traction for the rockers.

The chair typically arrives with the rocker base detached from the shell. You will need to attach the base to the seat using the provided hardware, which is a straightforward process that takes about 10 to 15 minutes.

The plastic shell is highly durable and easy to maintain. You can keep it clean by wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution; avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the matte finish.

The runner options—Natural Maple, Walnut, and Natural White Oak—are primarily aesthetic choices that allow you to coordinate the chair with your existing furniture. All three wood types are high-quality, durable, and provide the same smooth rocking motion.
