The frame is mostly made from birch wood which has a lovely colour tone, the back rest is a lighter coloured birch that contrasts nicely. It stands on beautifully tapered legs and has a built in side table which has a teak top. The loose back rest cushions can be placed on the table to be used as a head rest, the seat also lifts up to reveal built in storage space for blankets.

We have had the frame stripped and re-polished to a very high standard, and we have had this fully re-upholstered in a cream boucle fabric with new foam inners. The condition is excellent throughout.
