Condition
Overall in very good original condition. The chromium-plated elements in very good condition with minor discoloration, rubbing and minute losses to finish and oxidation consistent with age and use. The wooden elements with some light surface scratches and minute abrasions consistent with gentle use and handling. There is a minor loss to the proper left top edge, as seen in the catalogue illustration. The lacquered metal panels and Masonite panels with light surface scratches consistent with use. The drawer interiors with minor surface soiling, all easily removable and only show very gentle evidence of use. The drawer pulls with rubbing and minor edge losses consistent with gentle handling. All the hardware and drawer pulls appear original and undisturbed. A wonderful example of a second edition 400 series storage unit. -----
