Condition

Bon état général. Trace de stylo sur le côté de 2 lattes. Rayures sur les côtés des pieds (passage aspirateur ?) Rayures et petits chocs d'usage. Deux petits patins ont été ajoutés sous le pied central par l'actuel propriétaire, (inégalité de son sol) sont à ôter. Good overall condition. 2 pen traces (blue and green) onto the side of 2 wooden sticks. Scratches onto the sides of the feet (because of hoover?), some small scratches and chips onto the wooden sticks, consistent with normal use and age. 2 small wooden pieces have been put under the middle foot (because of floor not flat) by the actual owner and will have to be removed.
