Condition
Overall in excellent condition. Minor scratching and scuffing throughout and not distracting. Occasional slight rubbing to finish on connecting area of the planks due to gentle use over time. There are slight natural variations in wood texture and color throughout which are inherent to production. The planks are stable and sturdy except for a few with slightly loose ends, as expected for such functional piece. The screen is functional and easily expandable/retractable as needed. Overall an important Brazilian design that presents well overall.
