Two seats have slight rips towards the rear of the seats but this is only visible when the seat is pushed down in this area, difficult to explain but see images for clarification.
One chair has slight veneer slithers of veneer missing from the edge of the rear sabre legs, again see images.
The Upholstery is generally good and is very clean and bright

The frieze has signs of old minor repair to veneer nibbles to the lower edge of the frieze, presumably from snagging on clothing whilst in use
The finish is good and clean and bright without issue.
The top has a large plate glass cover top the top, this is also without chips, cracks or major blemishes.
The height to the underside of the frieze (Kneeroom) is 66 cm high approx
