Condition
Good overall condition, consistent with age, use and the history of the piece. The wood presents with scattered scratches, scuffs, dents and small chips scattered. The desk appears to have been previously re-varnished and some previous dents/chips have been filled. There are some instances of light staining. The top presents with some significant abrasion to the varnish/the finish in the middle. The bottom of one leg presents with a larger chip. This desk was originally conceived with a light above the proper left side, which has been removed at some point in the history of the piece, as on most of the PJ-BU-11-A desks.
