Condition
Overall in very good condition. The chromium-plated frames of the chairs in very good condition with some gentle rubbing, surface scratches and a few occasional surface discolorations. The lacquered wooden armrests with some minor surface scratches, edge nicks, minute losses, dings, and rubbing consistent with gentle use. The canvas is probably later and is in good condition showing gentle wear. The coloration of the canvas varies slightly across the eight chairs, likely from sun exposure. A very nice large set of the model.
