Condition

Very good overall condition. The metal surfaces present with a few rare light scratches, a few light scuffs and with some rare tiny stains. The shelves present with a few more significant scratches, not visually distracting. The alder trunk presents with some cracks, some uplifting of the bark and some losses of bark, all consistent with the natural aging process of the material.
