Condition
The frame is stable with no breaks or repairs to the wood. Overall finish of the wood is worn and faded. Reclining mechanism works well. Metal has some oxidation. Strings are all intact but have significant wear with about twelve strands fraying to reveal an internal structural white cord. Stains to the pillow upholstery. Rear restraining strap to the underside appears to be missing but does not affect function. Some staining to the underside of the frame is present.
