There is some play to the mechanism but this is perfectly acceptable, and in line with the age of the chair. The chair has been French polished, by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshop. The chair sits on four splayed solid legs that terminate on replacement top quality, English made, solid brass castors. This item is solid in joint and ready to use.
