Wear throughout consistent with daily use. Wooden surfaces show scattered scratches, indentations, and minor spots of finish loss. Chairs retain some stains to upholstery, some are lacking joinery plugs, exposing assembly hardware, exhibit seam separations, and one seat is loose. Good overall condition.
