Central pair of cupboard doors do close but they do stick a little bit, left hand cupboard door does not seem to stay shut properly unless you lock it, these minor door problems may be due to the fact that the floor in the saleroom is not completely level. There is also one brass key escutcheon that is loose, there are other general marks, scuffs and scratches as you would expect from as you would expect from a piece that has been used, there are what looks like minor water damages along the top and may possibly be due to plants being on there at some point in the past, overall reasonable condition. Comes in two sections.
