Someone left the chair out in the rain

This past Sunday it rained steadily all night.  One of those moderate but soaking rains.  We desperately needed the water - all my plants were showing signs of stress.

Guests left on Monday morning.  Everything in the apartment looked fine until I found one of the dining room chairs out on the small deck. One of the guests had carried it up a flight of stairs, used it outside and left it there overnight.  This is a molded plywood with veneer chair and it soaked in the water. This, in my mind, is an excellent argument for why you shouldn't buy anything other than Ikea for airbnb rentals. Better a ruined $40 chair than a $200 one.

Now I'm giving it a chance to dry out to see if the veneer settles down. How things turn out will determine whether or not I ask for a deduction from the security deposit.
