2 Seater has 2 reclining chairs, armrest storage. There is a small patch of damage where the side was rubbing against an adjacent item.
Armchair is reclining with armrest storage. The footrest padding has worn internally, which is visually noticable but does not affect its use.

These cost about $8k new, a couple of years ago.
Needing to sell as Mum has moved into a resthome, and we need to clear the house (and pay for the resthome!)

Any sensible offers accepted.
Will consider selling seperately, but will give first preference to anyone that wants the whole suite.
