Hi, all- We have a set of navy seat-and-a-half chairs we're ready to pass on to someone else. They are in very good shape, but could use a good scrubbing. They are leather - not cloth - and clean up very nicely. $100 each, and you'll have to come pick them up. Thanks for looking! Britney Library Director Alvah N. Belding Memorial Library 302 E.
