How exciting! The arne jacobsen egg chair has been considered as one of the most recognizable 20th century chairs, given its shape and exceptional quality. Once mainly used for lobbies and reception areas, the egg chair is now a hot commodity for the home. Here are some tips to consider while purchasing your arne jacobsen egg chair .

• The egg chair comes in a variety of colors. You can choose from the classic black or white, or go with a bold choice such as red. Consider carefully which room you'll be using the egg chair in. If you're unsure of where you'll be placing it, then perhaps stick with black or white.
• Consider the other furniture in your room. The egg chair is sure to make a statement and will most likely be the main focus point of the room. You don't want the other furniture to clash with its style.
• Also consider the lighting of the room. If you're going with a bold color for the egg chair, such as red, then keep your walls light in color and use brighter lights.
• The egg chair comes in a soft fabric or leatherette material. You'll need to decide which type of material you prefer for the chair. Keep cleaning of the material in mind. Some people find the leatherette to be maintained easier.
• Do your homework. The price of an arne jacobsen egg chair varies. There are several websites that sell the chairs, as well as some stores. If purchasing from a website, find out all costs (i.e. price of egg chair, taxes, shipping).
• It's also wise to find out the return policy. Some places will only let you return the egg chair if it arrives to you damaged. Other places will allow a return if you aren't fully satisfied with your egg chair. Know in advance if a company will refund your money, give you store credit, or if you have to exchange the egg chair for another chair.
• You have the option of purchasing a matching ottoman. Again, consider which room you'll be placing your egg chair in. If you're getting egg chairs for the kitchen, you'll probably not need an ottoman. If you're considering an egg chair for your home office then the ottoman might be a great idea!
• Decide whether you want to purchase new or use. If time isn't a factor, you might be able to find a used egg chair in very good condition from a site such as ebay or amazon. Keep in mind that there might not be any guarantees when purchasing a used egg chair.
• If you're looking to purchase a new egg chair. Make sure that the chair is authentic or an authorized reproduction. This is especially important if you decide to sell the chair someday. You want it to have a good resale value.
• If you're contemplating purchasing two egg chairs, consider purchasing them at the same time, from the same company. Otherwise, you risk not finding an identical chair later on.

Congratulations on purchasing an arne jacobsen egg chair. By implementing a few of these considerations, you'll find years and years of enjoyment from your egg chair.
