Overall good condition. The metal surfaces with scattered surface scratches and more significant and numerous scratches on the top. Overall surface soiling with a few minute stains consistent with age and use. The edges present with a few extremely minor dents. Each table with later glass topos. A quintessential example of French late-1960s design.
