Condition
Overall in very good original condition. With some minor discolorations and edge fraying to the cardboard surface. One area of the side of the seat back with a tear, approximately 3 inches in length, that is pulling away from the edge. There is no loss to the cardboard, and this could be easily stabilized. The ponyskin upholstery is in excellent condition and was designed for this particular edition of the model. Each of the individual elements can be zipped off to alter the size of the cushion.
