Condition Report: The top surface has moderate overall wear along with sun-fading, a few drink stains, abrasions and small veneer losses along the edges. The pulls appear to be replaced based on the fact they are in such good condition. There are small to moderate areas of flaking on the plating with some bare metal spots showing rust. The yellow and blue masonite panels each have a small loss of lacquer. The upper parts on the feet are showing signs of corrosion with some rust. The third drawer down has one stable split on each side of its face. The drawer faces show light wear typical of use.
