Eames Soft Pad (Vitra EA 217/219) — FAQ

Common Eames Soft Pad (Vitra EA 217/219) questions

How much is a used Vitra Soft Pad worth?

We pay up to £300 per chair in Grade A condition (fully functional, no rips, clean). Mid-grade examples sit lower; final price is confirmed once we've seen photos. Send a few snaps and we'll come back same day.

Do you buy single Vitra Soft Pads or do I need a bulk lot?

Single chairs work — we run weekly van routes through every UK postcode area, so a one-chair pickup from a home office sits alongside the multi-floor clearances we do for office moves.

What condition does my Vitra Soft Pad need to be in?

Headline price assumes the chair functions — gas lift holds height, tilt mechanism works, arms intact. Light cosmetic wear is fine. Anything broken drops the chair to a parts grade (around £40) but we still buy.

How quickly can you collect Vitra Soft Pads?

Single chairs typically pick up same week. Lots of 10+ usually within 5 working days. BACS settled within 3 working days of collection.

Can I sell Vitra Soft Pads alongside other brands?

Yes — most of our quotes mix brands. Bundle Aerons with Leaps with Vitras, plus any meeting / lounge chairs you want to clear. One pickup, one BACS payment.
