Condition
FR : Très bon état général. Le laminé présente quelques rayures de surface, un léger encrassement en surface et quelques petites taches. Un élément triangulaire en laminé (d'environ 4,5 x 4 x 5,5 cm), qui s'était probablement détaché, a été re-fixé à l'angle antérieur droit de l'étagère verte. //// EN : Very good overall condition. The laminated wood presents with a few surface scratches, some surface soiling and a few small stains. A triangular piece of laminated wood (approximately 4,5 x 4 x 5,5 cm) has most likely fell and has been re-fixed along the front proper right corner of the green shelf.
