Overall very good condition. The piece is electrically stable, although here appears to be a small short in the cord and when position a certain way, the piece does not illuminate. This easily repaired. Currently configured for European use and therefore is being offered with a conversion hardware for use in the US. The sculpture with minor surface scratches. The cord of the sculpture has become slightly stiff and therefore shows some kinks from being stored. A re-wring could restore some flexibility to the cord.
