This piece is considered to be in great, antique pre-owned condition. That means it is not perfect and shows signs of aging / wear. Noticeable defects and flaws are pictured such as scratches, dings, etc. Originally plain unpainted wood, someone has added white paint to better bring out the design. Sturdy & strong without breaks or repairs. Authentic piece from an estate in Western, New York. Please review photos for details. No odors - from a smoke free environment.
