There is some spotted discoloration to the top. The top board has shrunk slightly, leaving a 1/8 inch gap. The tips and part of the balls of the feet may have possibly been replaced at a later date. One of the tip of the feet may also have possibly been replaced. Some of the joints have been stablized with a wax-like substance.
