Overall in good, stable, original condition. All of the chairs retain what appears to be the original yellow painted rush. All chairs show moderate to heavy wear consistent with age and use, including losses to finish, scratches, nicks, dings and stains. One chair with a mild split to the top of the rear leg. One chair lacking the metal pad, thus making it wobbly. Inconsistencies to the overall wear and color of the chair backs.
