Overall in good condition. The black table shows minor surface scratches, rubbing and chips to paint, and minor areas of corrosion. The rubbing and chipping is concentrated to one area of the top and the inner rim of the black table. This appears to have been the result of removing the yellow table. The yellow table with more significant examples of the same condition issues. Each leg with losses to the yellow paint approximately one inch below the rim measuring approximately one inch in length as a result of having rubbed against the black table. There are minor losses to paint and scratches along the length of the legs resulting from being lifted out of the black table. Remnants of red paint to one area on one of the legs of the yellow table. All the feet with expected wear comprising surface scratches and minor nicks.
