Overall in very good condition. A later finish has been applied to both the table and chairs, and as a result each of the elements currently present with a shiny finish. Each piece shows very minor signs of gentle use. With a few occasional surface scratches to the top and a few scattered edge nicks consistent with use. The legs of the chairs with a few expected surface scratches and edge nicks. The table is designed with two leaves which are very similar in color to the overall table and appear to have been used frequently with the table and therefore have had similar use and sun exposure. The chairs with later upholstery which is well executed and consistent with the original design. With very minor evidence of use, and some very light spots of discoloration to a few of the chair seats. A very well matched set showing similar finish and very gentle wear.
