Condition
Very good overall condition. A few light scattered surface scratches and marks on an otherwise clean finish with an attractive matte sheen. There is a small triangular spliced veneer repair to the bottom exterior edge of one side panel. It measures just less than one inch in length and is not overtly visible on casual inspection. There is some shrinkage apparent at the joins. The stool is structurally sound and fully functional.
