Condition
Overall very good, stable, and attractive condition. The finish appears original and presents well, displaying a warm and even color and sheen throughout, showing some faint surface scratches associated with normal age-related use. The two adjustable black shelves display some variation in color - likely the result of normal surface contact and sunlight exposure. One of the mounting brackets to the underside of one shelf has been moved roughly a half-inch inward and is stable. This is not visually noticeable when the shelf is in place. The back side of the unit shows some traces of white paint splatter isolated in two small areas. A fine and desirable example of this design.
