Condition
Good overall condition. The lacquered metal structure presents with some scratches, scuffs and chips of paint, the later more significant around the corners. The metal must present with some oxidation below the paint. Some areas of the styructure have most likely been re-painted. The metal springs might not be the original ones. The wooden shelf presents with some instances of blushing. The mattress and the cushion are newer and in good overall condition, with some light discolouration.
