Two chair pads (Dalston E8)
Two chair pads with a botanical-ish print in shades of blue and green, plus accents of brown. They have ties at the back corners, to fasten them to a kitchen chair. There's a very thin layer of foam in between the patterned top and the off-white nonwoven bottom. Not amazing, but clean and otherwise in good condition.
