Condition Report: In good "as found" condition. The piece exhibits a number of blemishes, dings and mars. The surface is quite thin, and lifted at some spots. The drop leaves retain more finish than the center top and a darker hue. There is a narrow loss to a leaf just above a hinge. The loss is not visible when the table is extended. The extended table is sturdy and functional. Legs are tight.
