Condition
Overall very good original colour and condition, light natural wear to surfaces and extremities commensurate with age and light use. There is a very minor/small indent to the edge of the seat, however this is very minor and our opinion does not adversely affect the overall attractive appearance of the stool in any way. There is a good early Knoll Associates label to the underside of the top. The stool retains a firm structure and presents well overall.
