I'm not sure about the sheet problem either. But if you don't put a sheet over it, then there's the hassle of cleaning between the segments. Small kids leave crumbs and dirt. Cats leave fur and worse. And what a perfect place for bedbugs!

Oops. I need to clarify my above comment - I just get really excited by Kohn chairs.
Josef Kohn wasn't American - he was Austrian. However, his company was one that opened American production and distribution shops. There were some in Canada too. The labels on the bottom of your chairs (if still there) will tell the country. Also, intact labels add to the value of the chairs.

Oh please don't paint them!
Josef Kohn was one the American designers who was influenced by the Weiner Werkstatte group in Vienna in the early 20th century. Those chairs are unique (I have not seen the scallop design before) and in such good condition, it pains me to think of them painted. In fact, if you were in my area I would be offering to buy them off of you.
