This 3.5 seater sofa frame is about 24 years old and in excellent condition for its age. The construction qualities are brilliant- very solid and sturdy. There is NO movement in any joint, NO repairs, NO structural defects, NO cracks, NO splits- nothing of the sort. Cosmetically the frame presents extremely well. The sofa frame shows minor signs of use- NO abuse, NO misuse. Under the curved cane sections is solid timber which means the cane is fully supported and can’t be pushed in or damaged. (Unlike virtually all the furniture that’s out there that looks similar to this.) _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The upholstery is FILTHY. I honestly believe that some stain remover and a dam-good soak in Napisan would get these covers clean- it's nearly all just DIRT! It's obvious kids have had free reign of the suite (which is good as far as the frame is concerned- it PROVES without any doubt that these frames are a QUALITY, DURABLE build. The fabric itself is high-quality- it is NOT worn or tattered ... just very dirty but being white it should be very easy to clean ... the covers could even be bleached however I don't think bleach is needed. The back cushion is NOT original- the back is supposed to have 3 cushions that sit snuggly across it. (The single-seaters still have the original cushions so you could easily get an idea as to what the cushions should be from them. The current cushion is actually comfortable- it just doesn't look that good and the cover on the back cushion is rudimentary. The seat cushions look like they were professionally sewn up- the back cushions don't- but they do the job). The back and front fabric on the frame has been wrapped over by a home hobbyist- this could be done by an amateur with a sewing machine and an upholstery stapler- it's actually not hard to do at all. I think the fabric underneath would actually present well. I didn't want to rip all the covering fabric off to find out. When in use, the back and front edge don't get touched at all so my experience with this design is that those fabric pieces are generally in very good condition. I wanted to wash these covers- because I think they'll come up very well and it would be satisfying- but I choose not to own a car and the suite is at my storage unit with no electricity so no washing machine AND THE COVERS SHOULD BE REPLACED WHILST STILL DAMP TO PREVENT SHRINKAGE... ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few small pieces of cane are broken but this is not noticed and won't get any worse. THE CANE IS TIGHT AND SUPPORTED UNDERNEATH BY SOLID TIMBER- the cane can't be pushed in and is purely decorative. The broken strands are in a few spots on the inside of the armrest section. The piece has been clearly photographed in very good light (and is 26 years old!). These areas are clear in our array of photos. Click on the magnifying tool to get the photo to cover the full screen- click on it again to supersize the image. Then scroll over the area you want to look at very closely. As shown in the photos it's very hard to notice- this is how it is in person. It's a pedantic comment as it doesn't affect the sofa at all and is not noticeable unless you really want to look for it. The frame will last forever with normal use. When the upholstery starts to become too tired re-upholstery is a breeze. Take the old covers and new fabric to anyone with a sewing machine. It’s not a hard job nor costly. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The inner cushioning for the seat cushions are all good. The springs under the seats are all in brilliant condition. The dust covers FOR THE SINGLE SEATERS- the armchairs are not included in the listed price- have come away from the frames in places but this is not noticed until you turn the chairs upside down! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Measurements. 3-SEATER SOFA: Across- 219cm. Depth- 87cm. Total Height- 72.5cm. Seat Height- 41cm. ARMCHAIRS: Across- 111cm. Depth- 87cm. Total Height- 72.5cm. FOR FREIGHT- height is 64cm because the back cushion can sit flat along the seats of all 3 pieces. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The pair of chairs are priced SEPARATELY. The condition of the pair of chairs is exactly the same as the 3.5-seater sofa. Consult the description above. One of the chairs also has a few broken strands cane on the inside of one armrest. Again, shown in our photos and again it's only noticed if you're really looking for it. The cane is tight and supported by solid timber underneath. Super-size the images by clicking on the Magnifying Tool. Click on the image again to make it even bigger- then scroll over the areas you want to look at very close-up. The suite is clearly depicted in our photos. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The single-seaters measure- 111cm Across. 87cm Deep. 65cm Timber Height.
