The lid opens and closes as it should although it does not lock with the key missing. The handle is firm and attached. The hinges along the backside are in good working order. The felt on the bottom is quite worn and there are wood shrinkage cracks underneath. The interior is missing one lid to one of the 2 tea compartments, the mixing bowl is missing, original red lining shows staining and wear.
