by Kevin O 30 Aug '11

Hi Neighbors, I have three cool vintage metal lawn chairs. Paint them up in bright colors and bring a spark of color to your garden or porch. The two dark green chairs have a nice "bounce" to them and are very sturdy with virtually no rust. The third chair has some surface rust but is very solid and has an incredible "bounce" that will rock you to sleep. The nights are getting cool, rock the evenings away in your cool retro chairs. $25 each or best offer. Location: Highland Parkit's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
