The chairs are structurally sound and stable. There are some areas where the wood has become slightly loose along joints; the curved rail of one of the chairs the joint has somewhat come apart. Along the front skirt of one chair, both side pieces are missing; one of the side pieces to the other chair is missing; visible in the lot listing. There are a few areas with possible light regluing along the joints to strengthen them. Light wear throughout.
