Hello. I am thinking of treating myself to an Eileen Gray "E1027" table. The "officially licenced" ones from Aram are way beyond budget but I see that there are few "off brand" companies doing them e.g. Onske and The Natural Furniture Company (these just based on a quick search). I would assume that for £150-180 I would still be getting a quality product, just not made by Aram. Would such an assumption be fair? The companies in question seem to be reputable / legitimate etc and I can't imagine that they will be churning out cheap junk....

Be gentle, I have no experience of treating myself to "fancy" furniture! 

I've got a coffee table 'inspired by' Noguchi, it wasnt cheap but much, much less than an official one. I took a good look at an official one and the only difference is that it lacks a signature and the bevel on the glass isn't quite as rounded but that's being picky.

I think you'll be fine with yours, there's a defined market for people who want designer furniture but can't quite justify the full price. 

thanks 

Got many pieces from them over the years, including an eames chair with ottoman

brilliant quality for the price.

Cheers. Think I'll go for it then! 

Received the table, excellent customer service and it is excellent quality; I cannot compare it to an Aram one but I did chance upon another “higher end third party manufacturer” who have an article showing the difference between THEIR quality article and a cheap and nasty one (details around tubing, angling, bevelled glass etc. The Onske one matches the other company’s high standards easily !
