Condition
Good overall condition, consistent with age and use. The fibreglass presents with a few scratches and scuffs, more numerous on the lower part of the armchair and on the underside, including a larger and deeper one on the back (on approximately 9 cm). The upholstery presents with very light discoloration. The proper right armrest presents with an indentation of approximately 1,5 cm. The upholstery is not the original one and there are a few glue remnants along the edges.
