It is covered in a dark green leather looking vinyl so is waterproof. But it has a few areas of wear flecks on the edge of the seat cushion as shown and the top of the back of the chair, hence the price. The chair is 100cm high x 800cm wide. Pick up is in Kokopu or delivery can be arranged by negotiation.
