Does it look the same? Absolutely not.

Can it be functional for folks along with the others? Yes.

Is it an actual seat from the Boston Garden? Yes

The health reason overrode the look, IMO. Not wanting my kids (or guests, or myself) subjected to lead paint.

Just my opinion...
Have you (or anyone else for that matter) tried clear coating it to prevent the flaking? I feel like there has to be a flat clear coat that could be used.
