Description

Set of 4 DSS side chairs designed by Charles Eames and made by Herman Miller in the late 50s/early 60s. Original fibreglass weave shells in elephant hide grey on their original H bases
The contemporary version of this chair is made of polypropylene, which in our opinion, is not a patch on these original fibreglass models, which age beautifully.
All with original Herman Miller stamp. Mounted on their orignal H bases (these chairs can alternatively be supplied on walnut dowel bases, maple or oak bases, if you would prefer).

Condition report:

In very good overall condition, with just a couple of very small scuffs and marks here and there to the edges of the shells, in keeping with their age, but nothing too noticeable.
A stunning set of chairs - a totally classic, very collectable set.
The seats and bases will be dismantled for safer shipping but can be bought fully assembled if so desired - please let us know in this case and we will let you have a shipping quote.

Cancellations

We offer free cancellations and full refund for orders cancelled before dispatching. View full policy.

Returns

We have a 14-day return guarantee for orders from individual sellers, within the UK and European Union. View full policy.

Smaller items (including quite a few of our chairs which can be dismantled for shipping) are shipped, fully insured and with tracking numbers, via our designated couriers or the Royal Mail. In most cases, a signature will be required upon delivery.

All items will normally be despatched within 2-6 working days and sooner in most cases although larger items that can be sent via courier may need longer to package.

Customised beer table sets can take up to 4 days to prepare especially during the busy spring and summer months so please allow up to 1 week for delivery.

In the UK we use a 1-2 day courier service. The service to Europe takes approximately 3-5 days and for elsewhere it is approximately 5-7 days.

Surcharges (approx £20) will be applicable for Northern Ireland, remote areas, Scottish Highlands and islands. As well as 'Out Of Area' surcharges for Europe for more remote locations.

Shipping rates are calculated according to size and weight and will be available when you place an item in the cart.

For large furniture (freight) items, we will provide a delivery quote, so the following are guidelines only.

We have several recommended third party delivery options. Please note that these are third party. We arrange the quote and once accepted by you, pass your details onto the driver who will then make contact with you to coordinate delivery times directly. You will need to pay the driver upon delivery. Insurance of all items passes to these delivery companies as soon as these items leave our premises. We will obviously be happy to assist you with any queries/issues you may have regarding delivery.

We have found that most of our customers are looking for the most competitive delivery rates available and so the services we recommend are economy options. With these, a certain amount of flexibility is required, as a driver will be making several deliveries per run, delivery times will usually be within business hours and these are one man services.

These rates are for delivery to a ground floor, they may help carry the item elsewhere but this is at their own discretion. Please note that as the driver works alone and mainly during business hours, someone will need to be in to take delivery and help lift larger items. If you have any alternative requirements, please let us know as this will involve alternative arrangements.

If you have more specific requirements/restrictions, we may need to arrange an alternative, higher level delivery option.

In general:

London and the Home Counties – delivery will be within one week.

The fee for this service is usually £50-60 (distance dependent) for most freight items (sofas, chests of drawers etc). London is a £50 flat fee.

For larger, heavier items (eg haberdashery units and shop counters) this rises to £60-£70 (London being £60).

A surcharge of £10 will be applied for delivery to any addresses within the Congestion Zone.

Rest of mainland UK (including most of Scotland and Wales) – delivery will be within 2-3 weeks.

Flat fee of £75 to mainland addresses, there maybe surcharges for remote areas, islands and highlands. Again, this is an economy service and is for delivery to a ground floor via a one man service. Items are delivered 7 days a week, depending on where you are on the driver’s run, so some flexibility is needed. Please advise if you have any other requirements as other arrangements will need to be made.

Scotland £105

Ireland / N. Ireland £117

You are welcome to arrange your own courier service. We would recommend you look on WWW.SHIPLY.COM.

Seller Reviews

Cancellations and Returns

Last updated: 17th October 2024

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.

If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.

Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.

Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Can I cancel an order?

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.

To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.

Can I return an item?

At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.

In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.

Types of returns and responsibilities

Change of mind return

Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.

Item not fit for purpose

Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.

Damage in transit

Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

How to request a return

To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.

How you will be refunded?

Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.

If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.

What can't be returned?

As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.

Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.

Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
