Additional Information: 

This couch retains materials information tags but is missing all other informational labels and logo tags. The unit is in good original condition for its age but straps are dry and stretched and some seams are separating at the piping, especially along the front edges of the seat.The naugahyde material is remarkable free of imperfections.
