Knoll Saarinen Executive Chair review
Buyer found a vintage Eero Saarinen Executive Chair for Knoll at a garage sale for $5 (retail around $1,000). The emerald green chair was heavily soiled but successfully restored using upholstery cleaner, stain removers, and chrome polish. The chair is praised as an original piece by an architectural genius.
Pros
- Excellent value at $5 for an authentic vintage designer chair
- Emerald green color is attractive after restoration
- Chrome legs polished up well with Brasso
- Authentic Eero Saarinen design from Knoll
- Cleaning successfully restored the chair
Cons
- Chair was extremely dirty when purchased requiring extensive cleaning
- Deep stains required multiple cleaning products to remove
- Water from cleaning was completely black indicating heavy soiling
