Shrinkage cracks to top. Top board has two splits and there are gaps between the top board and mitered edges. Top hidden drawer works smoothly and is lined with pieces of contact paper.

No shrinkage cracks down sides. Sturdy, handsome example. __________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
