Condition Report (Thrift Find / Project Piece):
This piece is being sold in authentic vintage condition and is priced accordingly. It has lived a full life and is ready for a light restoration.
Top Surface: Shows "blushing" (cloudy spots in the lacquer) and some water rings from age. A professional buffing or a coat of Restor-A-Finish would do wonders here.
Side Panel: One side panel has significant veneer lifting/loss (see photos). This is a straightforward fix for a furniture hobbyist or a great candidate for a "painted accent" DIY.
Structural: Solid, heavy, and all drawers slide smoothly.
