Condition
Overall in very good condition. The burl tabletop with some irregularities inherent to the wood, not visually distracting. The wood surfaces with minor surface scratches, scuffing, and some very minor areas of light staining throughout, consistent with age and gentle use. The table with very minor occasional indentations concentrated to the sides. The table is made of three interconnected diamond-shaped tables linked via brass fixtures; it is fully functional and easy to reconfigure. The burl elm figurations are particularly fine on this innovative creation by Printz.
