I bought an Eames Chair replica from Milano Republic. I would call it a Eames lookalike, No one in my family could sit in it for more than a minute. I would not recommend buying this without trying first. The chair shown on their site doesn't look like the one I received. I made my dissatisfaction know to the seller and they offered me a store credit shipping paid by me. The screw in floor protectors are missing so the chair is not useable. Stay away.

Very uncomfortable chair, not true to advertisement on Milano Republic Online Store
We received a Replica Eames Lounge Chair + Ottoman from Milano Republic Online store and found that the backrest of the chair is very upright compared the the online photos advertised on their website. We measured the angle and found that it is 10.5 degrees more upright than what the photo shows. We were concerned and asked if this was a fault with the chair however they responded and said there is nothing wrong with the chair. We then asked for a refund based on the fact that the online photos show a completely different back angle to the chai...
Read morer we received. They refused to honor a full refund and instead offered us a store credit but we have to pay for postage to return the chair from Adelaide to NSW. We are now liaising with ACCC for advice. Considering there is another post on Product Review with the same issue made 3 days ago we believe there is a manufacturing issue with the most recent batch of chairs they are currently importing I would personally stay clear from buying this chair.... For the time being anyway, until they sort out the manufacturing issue.- Incentivised Review No

Recently acquired a premium leather replica Eames armchair from MR online. First the good - looks like a reasonable approximation of the real thing from afar and quality seems ok. Now for the bad- there are a few minor quibbles such as the ottoman not being secured to the base and the stain colour of the plywood shell being far too light however the biggest fault with this product is that it is so damned uncomfortable! After researching this ( http://midcenturycentral.com/the-best-eames-chair-replica/ ) I can only conclude that unlike the reall...
Read morey good rip-offs , the Milano Republic Eames lounge chair is constructed with the headrest set too far forward. This forces your head forward and you end up being hunched over in the seat rather than reclining comfortably as you do in the original. I cannot emphasise enough how unpleasant it is to sit in this chair. Other knock-offs used to counter this by offering a recline (or spring) mechanism which although not true to the original, actually improved the ergonomics of the chair. My advice is never buy one of the these from the internet unless you have first visited the showroom, checked the quality and tested the torture-chamber seating position for yourself.- Product Quality

After reading so many negative reviews, I took a risk and purchased from their Online Store, as they were the only company stocking the product. Had ZERO issues throughout. It was easy to order online, got my tracking number right away and delivery was efficient. The product looks exactly like what was on offer too.

Purchase 2 seater wing back lounge, made of linen opened the box so disappointed in the quality, linen has so many pulls and brown marks out of 10 pushing to be a 1. Lovely big dirty hand print on front underside, called straight away sent photos video for $772.00 such a waste of money. Would never buy from again, customer service is a joke, their return email linen natural product has pulls and brown marks?? As a dry cleaner for 20 years I have never seen such poor quality linen, dont even get me started on lumps in the cheap foam. Wish I had...

Wish I had read the reviews before I purchased because from my experience I can confirm all the negative ones are true.
Ended up spending 3 months fighting with them to get my issue sorted. I purchased 3 stools & 1 of the 3 was significantly smaller than the other 2 stools. It looked ridiculous! (All 3 were different sizes to each other but the other 2 were at least minor differences as opposed to the major difference of the third one). When I reported the issue within 15 mins of receiving them, I was told to just appreciate the character of ...
Read moreit. After multiple emails saying I was unhappy with the stool & wanted a replacement they stopped responding & ignored me. It wasn’t until I made a claim with fair trading that I got a response saying they would replace it. I waited a whole month for it to be sorted & when the replacement finally arrived it had multiple patches of paint missing (both large & small patches). I still to this day cannot fathom how anyone missed seeing it as it was very obvious. I then had to get a second replacement sorted meaning more wasted time waiting for couriers to pick it up & redeliver it. After 5 months of being stood down at work due to COVID I was finally given a return date. As my work schedule is very hectic I requested that the 2 replacement stool be delivered prior to my return to avoid any hassles. I gave them almost 2 weeks notice of this. In the end they said they weren’t able to have it delivered to me in time but were happy to work around my schedule. I gave them several delivery options & they assured me that it would be delivered on time as they had specially booked the service. It never arrived the day it was supposed to & I was told by the courier company that they had never booked the priority service. They then went ahead and rebooked delivery for a day I was working without asking my availability. When I told them I couldn’t accept it that day I was told they were no longer going to help me & it was my issue to sort out with the courier. In the end I had to take a sick day to wait for the delivery (leaving it on my doorstep was not a safe option & I did not have a car big enough to fit the stool in). The 3rd replacement is not much better but after 3 months, 3 different stools & hours upon hours of wasted time with waiting for couriers I’ve given up. The customer service is very poor, the quality of the product is the same & I will definitely not be purchasing from them ever again.- Product Quality

Purchased a chair over the weekend as was getting back pain from current WFH situation. The chair had not shipped by Tuesday evening (which is fine) but was concerned about finances and decided that I really shouldn't have spent any money given COVID and my financial status.
Called the warehouse, they said no problem. Which I thought was great.
I received a call a few hours later from "customer service" informing me that they will not refund me as the "website policy" says it has to be cancelled within 24hrs - but they could give me a store c...
Read moreredit, which I let them know was absolutely zero help to me. After arguing with them for some time and asking for: a) Some empathy around the situation given it wasn't even shipped yet b) Asking to talk to someone who could in fact make these decisions instead of merely quoting "policies"- Product Quality

ordered 3 stools from Milano Republic. Below is the chair ordered on the website and below is the chair I recieved. Different design to the one shown on the website.
Used their text message system to get in contact with them - whoever was responding did not seem to read the messages as she did not actually understand the issue and was asking me to send photos I had already sent and she had responded to.
Called the office phone number and got the warehouse. I was told I’d have to keep calling until I got the office number. Spoke to someone at ...
Read morethe warehouse eventually and they did not read the email properly or respond appropriately. In response to this issue I was called a week and a half later. They told me it was my mistake!!! Which is confusing because when my husband spoke to them on the phone about the issue, the warehouse manager said there was an issue with the website. They did not apologise and blamed their tech issue on me. Disappointing and disrespectful conversation from contact at head office!!- Product Quality

I am very pleased to say that Milano Republic was very decent in refunding my money on a recent purchase i made, especially given the issue was a matter of perception. The colour of the items were not what i expected, and, as such they very graciously allowed me to return them. Thank you.

Chairs looked great when they arrived but after only a couple of month's light use the seating cord has loosened and now there are gaps in it. It looks terrible.
I tried to post a review on the Milano Republic website but they haven't let it publish - likely because it's not positive.
Not recommended to shop here

O/N 12022 Wolseley table lamp illustrated on website as white grey and gold marble, arrived white & grey no gold & has bent lamp holder. Sent email request for replacement, no answer, rang was told it would be followed up. 10 days later no response rang again both times speaking to a female then some guy gets on the phone & says he’s spoken to me about this & sent an email. Explaining I had never spoken to a male nor had an email he later found the email in his outbox unsent! Apology, your dreaming! The explanation of natural stone is a myth, the stone I received has not a hint of gold in it.
Run & run fast these people have absolutely no idea what or who they are talking to.
Fair trading to follow.

This fantastic glass coffee table is exactly what I was looking for and it perfectly fits in my living room. Special thanks to the two guys working in the warehouse. They packed and loaded the car for me in such hot weather. Their services is efficient and professional. Would highly recommend.

Poor service, still awaiting a refund! Be careful ordering from this company!
I ordered a product on 16/08 and didn't get notified until 02/09 that they couldn't provide the items as they had none left in stock (despite not saying this on their website). I requested a refund and they sent an email saying it had been refunded on 03/09 but no money was received back in to my account. Staff are rude and for you off. I am still waiting for the refund as at 19/09 despite multiple phone calls to them and them confirming its been processed but can take this long to receive the money back!!?
Would not recommend ordering from this company at all.

I bought 12 chairs online, the chairs arrived promptly. There was a discolouration on one of the chairs that I wasn’t entirely happy with, and a replacement chair was sent out straight away. Throughout the process I received excellent customer service. Thank you - love the chairs!

I have purchased two Barcelona chairs and two matching footstools with full leather piping and buttons. The chairs arrived when expected and the quality is excellent - they are also very comfortable. The footstools are on back order and hopefully they will be of the same high quality.
