Condition
Overall very good condition. The legs of the table appear to have been re-painted at some point. With minor surface scratches to the lower portion of the painted legs, likely the result of use. The laminate top of the table with a few minor surface scratches and minor losses at edges, as expected with use. There is some minor appearance of stripes to the laminate surface which extends down the length of the table. These are minor and likely the natural aging process of the laminate.
