Fair to good condition. Original finish is maintained throughout. Moderate wear exists throughout its finish showing assorted abrasions, scratches, small point of finish loss that also includes fogginess to the finish. Thin shallow losses of material are apparent under the tabletop edge on both short sides caused by handling the table over time. Spotty faint discoloration exists to the black lacquered sections on the tabletop and legs. Boot feet show slight play. Table when tilted measures 34.25 x 12.625 inches.
