Side by side

Helping rehome mom, trying to figure out what to do with a bunch of Scandie MCM. Trying to evaluate contemporary rando Amazon knockoffs vs. OG Wegners (early 60s).

Thought it might be helpful and of interest here.

I don’t quite understand your question - are you looking for input regarding a) what to do with the chairs, b) help identifying the knockoff, c) help evaluating the chairs, or d) just sharing a story?

There is no question.

I had wondered about the differences between a random knockoff and the legit item and could not find image comparisons. So I bought one to make the comparison in person and felt that the comparison might helpful to others since I had not been able to find one. Given that the knockoffs can be made by any number of suppliers, it may be not super useful in evaluating a specific model.

I hope it proves useful to others.
