Condition

Overall good condition. The wood presents with some surface scratches and a few small scratches and very few small scuff marks. The wood is very slightly dry and presents with a few hairline cracks inherent to the aging of the material. One of the leg presents with a crack on the upper part, of approximately 11 cm and with traces of previous attempts to stabilize it.
