Overall in very good condition. The bookcase shelves with minor scattered scuffs and scratches throughout the wood surfaces, concentrated to the areas where the shelf brackets meet the shelves, consistent with age and use. One shelf with two instances of replaced wood, the larger measuring approximately 7/8 x 2 3/8 inches. The metal elements with a few minor scattered scratches throughout. The cabinet is in very good condition consistent with age and gentle use. A section to the base panel inside the cabinet has been replaced with plywood, measuring approximately 9 5/8 x 18 ¼ inches. The plastic doors with mild warping and dirt and surface dust. The cabinet does not have a back panel. A beautiful iteration of this iconic design from Charlotte Perriand.
