It should be an easy and reasonably inexpensive DIY restoration.

I need to disassemble the chairs and reglue the joints. One chair leg stretcher needs to be replaced, again easy enough as it is just a square piece of oak that I can either make a tenon on my lathe or just end drill it and use a dowel. Strip the parts, paint 'em, and its done.
