Overall sturdy, good condition. A few tight age cracks in the top; one area of repair where a burl was centered with a hole. Later metal hardware added to the underside so the table can be extended with two additional, later, associated burlwood leaves. Each leaf measures 22 inches wide. Additional photos available upon request.
