Overall very good condition. The frame of the chair with minor edge nicks, dings, scratches and rubbing to finish consistent with age and use. The frame with a few minor isolated areas of discoloration which are also commensurate with age. The surface of the chair seat in very good condition showing gentle wear and small and minor shallow surface scratches. The upholstery with some minor surface soiling and rubbing to finish consistent use. This is a wonderful example of this iconic chair design.
