Both chairs have loose seats as most of the glue blocks have lost their grip and it can be seen that some of the glue blocks are replacements.
One chair is slightly loose at the joint between the rear legs and the seat rails.
The other chair has cracked at the point of the mortices where the seat rail meets the rear legs but strangely the rear legs are quite firm
One chair shows an old crack to the bobbin area of turning on the front leg
Their is a little bit of movement in the joint of the back upright and the seat rail on both chairs
