Condition
Good overall condition. The fiberglass presents with scattered surface scratches, including a few deeper and visible ones. The front edge of the desk presents with a tiny chip of fiberglass of approximately 0,3 cm of diameter. The edges of the drawers present with a few areas of abrasions to the fibreglass. Large portions of the fiberglass have been re-finished at a later date and appear slightly yellow.
