Condition

Very good overall condition. The wood presents with a few rare scratches, a few rare light scuffs, and a few rare small dents, mostly concentrated along the edges and the corners, not visually distracting. The red finish presents with a few instances of light wear and a few instances of light discolouration. Some light surface soiling.
