Only one surface scratch which is approximately one inch long is slightly more evident. There are a few missing screws that attached the legs to the underside of the base. The chromium plated tubular steel legs are in very good condition, showing very gentle wear with minor surface scratches, scattered pitting and inconsistencies to the plating.
