Good overall condition consistent with external use. The aluminium presents with some surface soiling and a few rare light oxidation/calcareous stains. There are a few lighter traces, inherent to external exposure. The aluminium presents with some tiny irregularities, inherent to the making. One chair (1/4 G) with some slightly more visible oxidation traces on the seat. Another chair (8/8 J) presents with three scratches on the backrest (the largest 7 cm) and with some rare black stains on the legs. Several chairs present with some cracks to the aluminium on some legs and on some stems between the seat and the backrest. One chair presents with a crack/break on the stem between the seat and the backrest, that might be inherent to the making and might have worsen over time and external exposure.
