Overall in very good condition consistent with age and gentle use. The seat surfaces with minor compression and rubbing consistent with the material. The particleboard edging with scattered nicks and chips as partially visible in the printed and online catalogs and is not visually disruptive. The proper right rear corner to one chair is slightly compressed and consistent with this material. The top surface of the footstool with a deeper scratch approximately 1 1/4 in. (3 cm) and is not visually disruptive. An iconic and playful set in very good original condition.
