If I had these in a hobby room and wanted to sit in them once in a while, and especially if I had young children, I'd want to do what the OP did - sand off that old paint, clean it up, and give it a fresh paint job. Then, no worries - just enjoy them.

Yes, to much wear on the seats, they were good for many years. But when I moved to Florida, no room, they sat in the sun on Lanai.. I’m happy with the results. Here is my other seat, think these were used by ushers or guards. Also, the original paint on this seat. Thanks
