Condition

Overall very good condition consistent with age and use. The top surface of the table with scattered shallow surface scratches, nicks, dings, isolated spots of discoloration and scratches. With one darkened area of discoloration, which appears as a drink ring to the top surface measuring 4 inches in diameter. With another lighter impression of the same size adjacent, but is much lighter in color and not a complete circle. One seam to the top surface with a slight age separation, but is stable and the wood to one side is just slightly higher to the touch. The table has been recently waxed and retains a waxy texture to the touch.
