The best thing about the womb is its shape. It accommodates many different relaxing ways to sit. Some of the good knock offs can be pretty comfortable. Two problems to watch for though. First, the frame is hard to make sturdy with cheaper components. The better knock offs go for sturdy, which does leave them somewhat less compliant. Some are just plain flimsy. The real problem with knock offs is the upholstery. Cheap upholstery is going to be less comfortable and prone to wearing out. You would probably want to use a throw blanket to keep the chair looking good. A 1970s knock off Eames might actually turn out to be a prize if you can sore it at $300.00.
