Condition Report

The drawer fronts and drawer interiors show some age, and certain parts might be old, but overall the commode is of 20th century construction. With an associated glass top. In overall fine, sturdy condition. Scattered scuffs, scratches consistent with age and use. The legs are structurally sound and the piece does not wobble at all. The back panel is a later replacement. The drawers have all been lined. Drawer handles and lock plates all present, and drawers open and close smoothly and easily. With a key. Heavy scuffs to the finish on the top proper right; discoloration, possibly from water marks, to the top proper-left corner. The color is accurate as it appears in the photo.
