You are not the only one
Agree with everything he said.
Currently I am down to these two suppliers in Europe-
Around $80 for plastic version-

Around $190 for fibreglass version-

I am tempted to go for the $80 plastic one but not sure if the company is legit. Some of their gallery images are taken from Vitra website, like this one-

So if they are using such tactics then not sure I can trust them.
Iconicinteriors.com seems legit though.
