There are signs of re-gluing laminated sections along with scattered wood filler. Added wood plugs to reinforce an old break on the base of one set of legs. The holes to secure the legs to the steel frame do not align not allowing those three elements to bolt together, but they do nest into each other remaining stable when upright, and placed. The drawer has moderate wear with scuffing to the interior. The drawer has moderate resistance when using. The chrome handles, and enameled frame have scattered corrosion throughout. The bed does not retain a mattress. Overall this bed is in fair condition.
