Condition Report*: In very good original condition, with light overall wear commensurate with age and gentle use; this includes light stray scratches, scuffs, small bumps and impressions (particularly at edges, corners, and legs from vacuum cleaner contact), spots of finish wear and soiling, and minor household paint transfer; wear is even and not distracting; case is sturdy and well made; shelves are stable on adjustable hardware; drawers glide easily; loss to the center of one knot inside one drawer groove (possibly in the making, not visible under normal use, and unaffecting the use of the drawer); later replacement pandanus cloth from George Nakashima Woodworkers; overall a handsome and ready to place example of the model.
