Condition

Good overall condition. The wood presents with some small scratches, small dents and a few small chips, all consistent with age and use. One leg presents with a larger chip at the bottom, on approximately 2 x 1,5 cm. The wood has been re-varnished at a later date. The upholstery is newer and in very good condition overall.
