  1. I got 100% naturally, being that I made the quiz.   :-P

  2. 60%. I can live with that.

  3. i don’t think that second one is real. you wouldn’t ever see and visible hardware on an authentic. like those bolts on the armrest. also, the one from the photo i submitted with the ashtray is a total knock-off. but very convincing.

  4. Yeah I’m an idiot, I don’t know why I had that one labeled as “real”.  Exposed fasteners should have been an obvious tip off.  Fixed the quiz.

  5. 50%!!! The first one threw me off because I thought the 5-star base was too cone-shaped. Being too cerebral, should have gone with the gut. Also — the one nested in the shag carpet looked like it had only 4-star base, so I would have gotten that one right, too. LOVE the elphantitis chair!

  6. 7/10
    Kinda sad that some of those fakes look better than the real thing. The things people do to their chairs….

  7. hmmmm….striped one , I contend, if fake. The base is all chrome. I thought all bases were black with polishes?
