Some edge rubbing, minor dents and white marks in places from mild abrasion and light wear. Some looseness to front legs as expected with age and use. The seats have been re-supported and re-railed. Two chairs each with a spliced leg repair. One chair with a one inch by a half inch stray white paint mark to the inner side of a chair back support that would benefit from sensitive cleaning.
