Each element shows minor surface wear associated with age and use. Two shelves show more notable scratches centered to front edge. A third shelf shows a faint, circular area of discoloration near center of back edge. Few small areas of wear to edge of aluminum slats, with one showing a larger area of older adhesive residue. Each cabinet door shows advanced lifting to veneer along both sides, and will need to be addressed prior to normal use (images available). Overall very good vintage condition.
