Condition
Overall very good condition with a very minor hairline scratch to the back rest near the left armrest. Scattered white clouding throughout the chair, concentrated to the seat and backrest with a more concentrated circle near the front seat approximately 3 inches in diameter, which appears to be inherent in its production.
