DSS Stacking Side Chair

Designer: 
Ray Eames
Charles Eames
Manufacturer: 
Herman Miller

Price:

$229.00-$249.00

Pros
The supportive back comes up high and tapers toward the top, providing clearance for your elbows—useful if you’re at a computer or pulled up close to a worktable. It’s stackable and ”gangable”—–you can clip several together to create rows.

Cons
It’s so popular it’s become ubiquitous—see practically every issue of Dwell.

    Pros
    These lightweight polypropylene-and-glass-fiber chairs are ideal for outdoor use; they’re stackable and each has a cutout that ensures the seat won’t gather puddles. They come in ten colors, from fuchsia to beige, so there’s a shade to suit every space.

    Cons
    One size doesn’t fit all: The relatively low back hits short folks right below the shoulder blades, discouraging reclined relaxation. They come only in sets of four—a bummer if you seek a singleton.
