The retreating mechanism is stiff and will need some lubrication or attention prior to use - this can probably be done on disassembly or reassembly The top sections can be dismantled, this should be done carefully as the veneers are applied to an MDF type carcass and therefore is prone to chipping and marking (as has already happened due to previous movement)The doors to one are not level and again my need some work in the hanging (they attach to the aforementioned retreating actions.One handle missing to the interior drawers, the one fitted for hi-fi equipment has signs where this has been inserted and removedThese are probably best viewed in person prior to bidding.The internal shelves have not been inserted whilst at DreweattsPlease refer to additional images for visual reference to condition Condition Report Disclaimer
