Good overall condition. The plexiglass presents with some surface scratches, with some surface soiling throughout and a few tiny stains scattered. The glass top is simply set on the base (it is not fixed), and presents with extremely rare surface scratches and a few tiny stains. The glass top is slightly wobbly. The anodised aluminium presents with a few rare light scratches and a few rare tiny oxidation stains.
