The wooden surface presents with light scratches throughout and very fine abrasions to the side edges that are consistent with gentle use and handling. The sides present with very faint areas of discoloration only visible upon close inspection. One side of the box with two dark surface stains, the largest measuring approximately 1/8 inch wide and not visually distracting.
