Good pre-owned condition; two distinct irregular paint chips or losses are present near the center of the faux-marble top surface that reveal the lighter undercoat and bare wood substrate beneath, a circular ring of hazy white moisture discoloration or clouding surrounds the larger loss, minor superficial scuffing and small lacquer dings near the base feet, stable structural frame joinery, and smooth mechanical extension to both drawers If you are interested in bidding, please contact us to request more photos, or make an appointment for in-person inspection.
