Good overall condition. General wear exists throughout the cabinet. Original finish exists throughout all materials. Enameled aluminum legs and trim pieces have scattered small losses of enamel along with assorted abrasions. Laminated top and lacquered sides have areas of light discoloration and scattered abrasions. All four feet are missing their finishing caps. Legs have been adhered together to prevent instability. Interior has assorted rounded edges to the shelves, fine scratches and faint abrasions. Cabinet is sound and ready to be placed.
