Good original finish with very minor wear commensurate with age and use. Some small chips and indentations to bottom edge of base. Both side panels are separating slightly along a seam; this extends vertically along the entire height of both sides and is more apparent to one side. Some filled nail holes to top. Other than this reparable separation, bookcase remains in very good overall condition.
