Good to very good condition. Chrome frame on one example has numerous areas where the plating has flaked off showing oxidation and corrosion with a hazy quality to the lower section of the frame/legs. The plating to the additional example has dulled over time with light corrosion. The canvas on both has most likely been replaced at some point while still showing signs of age and light wear. Both canvas slings on the blue example show general fading along with a few small tears. A 2-inch section of the stitching on one side of the seat has come off. General wear exists to the armrests showing finish loss.
