The glass is intact and good. The are some surface scratches, small chips and losses, appropriate to usage. Previously wired for electricity with LED lights. A piece of moulding is missing from the right hand centre, above the drawers, it is however present. There as small cracks between the joins in the "astragal" frames, this again does not appear to be affecting the glass. There are a few areas of irregular wood staining. Small repairs evident to some knocks. A few small chips and losses to the pedestal base. The right hand door is currently difficult to open, the moulding beneath has risen (this likely relates to the missing piece). It does look relatively straight forward to rectify. All other drawers/doors run smoothly. It does require full re-assembly; it appears to have originally had screws joining all the various pieces together. At the moment there are gaps between each section that doing this we imagine would rectify.
