Condition Report
The cresting of the sofa has some small areas of damage see images.
I can't see any signs of woodworm from the small amount of exposed underframe as the chairs and sofa have dust liners fitted.
The joints are tight but by their nature have a little "Flex" across their arms.
The upholstery on the sofa and chairs is good and clean
The upholstery on the stool is threadbare on the top
