Condition
Overall in good original condition. The frame with surface scratches, areas of discoloration, nicks, dings and chips. One of the chair backs is slightly loose, and would benefit from being tightened. The undersides of the frame with significant surface dirt. The plywood under the seat is lifting and has warped, and appears to have suffered some water damage at some point. The seats are stable and it appears that the damage is only the underseat. With significant surface dirt and soiling. With back cushions not shown in the catalogue illustration. The four cushions are in good condition with some minor fading in color due to age and sun exposure.
