Condition

Overall very good condition. The wood with very light and scattered scratches, nicks and scuffs, as is consistent with age and gentle use. There is a small shallow dent/impression (approx. 1/4 in.) near the center of the table, but not visually obtrusive. With four extension leaves, three of which measure 24 3/4 in. wide and a fourth measuring 11 3/4 in. The extension leaves have a horizontal grain around the perimeter and are a tad darker in hue due to minimal exposure to light. The table is a lovely, rare solid teak with a rich coloring.
