The right hand gallery piece has an old repaired break. The handles are all original and securely fixed, as are the metal corner mounts. Four of the five drawer fronts have bowed slightly and stand a little proud at each end. There are a few sections of veneer to the left side panel which have lifted slightly. The drawers are sliding cupboard front all open smoothly.
