Condition
Overall in very good condition. One stool presents with minor signs of rubbing to the flap. Some of the leather straps show signs of wear in the form of dark stains that are not visually distracting. One of the leather straps on one chair is cut in two, not affecting the overall structure or functionality of the piece. The strap can be restored at the client's discretion.
