The leather covered seats have a wood frame (no centre) that fits into rabbets, horsehair filling, and an undercover in muslin cotton fabric. The four corner support joints underneath the seat are pieces of wood nailed onto the seat; also a piece of wood nailed and screwed onto both sides of seat bottom.
