Look-a-likes, Copies & Knock-offs  At some point every successful new design in furniture will reach the level of popularity or success that causes its own generation of copies (offspring). This is the way of the free market economy. Weather you have built a successful automobile, watch, tennis shoe or a piece of furniture, if your creation is greeted with a huge success by consumers, then within a year there will be three more just like it at various price points. If the success is long lasting, eventually, there will be 25 copies from suppliers around the world. The IFM Furniture Spectrum is designed to help buyers clearly distinguish the various grades of look-alike items, grading each piece of furniture from A to F eliminating the most common misperceptions on the internet (D;E; & F). Click on the spectrum located on the right side of this column to link to a full explanation. Let us add value to your search time by cutting through the deep piles of knock-off, copies, and look-a-likes to bring to the surface the clear-cut value winners.   This classic Chippendale Chair is a perfect example of a frequently copied item. There must be over 100 reproductions of this Victorian era classic Stuart mahogany dining chair. Pictured hear are four very different grades of the same chair, rated according to the IFM Furniture Spectrum. Click on each chair for a more complete explanation of the grading. Then you will be ready to surf through our site and find the items you are looking for at the grade, quality and price points that you desire, and eliminate the risk of a disappointing internet purchase.
