There is 1 rung inserted on each side and one in the front and back for a total of 4 rungs. There are holes for extra rungs on the sides, but the rungs are missing. Painted / stained light brown.
These chairs (its pair is 1974.1285.1) belonged to Gustav Gustavson. Their quaint shape gives away thir age. Seats are marked as though a knife had slipped in some of its work, and other dents show.
