Condition is consistent with age and use--in excellent shape, solid with no warping or missing pieces. The four leaves are also in excellent condition; upon close inspection, one has a shallow gouge. As can be expected, there are minor nicks and scratches, but nothing that is visible without close inspection.. The custom table pads have several stains--clearly they have protected the table!
