Condition
Overall excellent condition. The painted metal elements with minor scratches and minor losses. Larger losses to the paint at the front of the metal frames of the armrests at the bent areas. The wooden seats and armrest with minor nicks, dings and scratches consistent with age and use. The wooden feet with more nicks and scratches as expected. The painted aluminum seats with scratches. the frames are slightly loose and would benefit from being tightened. With later fabric light tan colored cushions. An excellent matched example of this model with solid wooden seat backs.
