Condition
Good overall condition. The anodised aluminium presents with more or less important surface scratches, including a few revealing the original colour of the aluminium and some wear to the anodised aluminium along the edges of the bases. The surface presents with some dirt and very minute scuffs and dents, mostly located on the reverse of the backrests. One leg presents with two significant dents of approximately 1,3 cm of diameter (located on the upper half). The foam is slightly unglued in some areas. The glass top presents with scattered surface scratches and instances of light soiling. All consistent with age and use
