Condition Report
Overall, this chair is in good condition, with some needs for possible restoration. The joints and structure is in good working order. The base and back springs are all included, but some are loosing some of their plastic coating. The springs are somewhat lax, and the chair would possibly need re-sprung in the future. The material cover is in a bad shape, as there appears to be a large stain and some loose material. The material and foam would also benefit from replacement.
