It was very rusty, so I took it to the scrap yard to be recycled. Oliver – no, I didn’t save the metal base. It was very rusty, so I took it to the scrap yard to be recycled.

I don't know any retailers in the US sell the pads - I've seen a pad for sale in Japan though... Sorry I can help you... If I make a pad and it works well, I will post some pictures.

I am actually in the process of doing the same thing and I have a couple questions. 1) Is there a Herman Miller stamp on the chairs? Mine have a 4 digit # stamp but no tags or HM logo. There is also a long oval-ish sticker with all the writing worn off. 2) Do you know where to get a seat pad for them? Were you going to make them? Try Saarinen pads? Hope to hear from somebody! -Joe Those look great! I am actually in the process of doing the same thing and I have a couple questions.

I saw an old padded shell chair thrown out in someone's yard about a year ago, asked the old lady that lived there if I could buy it but she refused any money and just gave it to me! I was so excited even though it was quite dirty looking. I've been begging my dad to help me figure out how to get the material off and fix it up and whatnot and he thinks I'm crazy! This is really gonna help me :D Wow thanks!

I just bought (on Craigslist) an Eames padded side chair with an H-base but it's missing a glide. Um, you wouldn't happen to have an extra glide, would you? =) The chairs looks great!
