Condition
Good condition. Frames show general wear throughout. Assorted finish losses, impressions, rounded edges, and scratches to the frames. Armrests and the front stretcher bar on both have recently been top-coated preserving old wear and age underneath. Lifting to the upper level of laminated oak is apparent around the dowel connection on the front-left of one example. Vinyl seats have most likely been updated at some point. Both sling seats show wear and light discoloration. Abrasions and small losses to the outer layer of vinyl on the right side of the backrests on both examples. Some surface cracking is apparent in that same location. An extra dowel that is used in the frame for seat support is included.
