The painted finish has scratches, scuffs, discoloration, rubbed areas, and scattered chips and losses, most noticeably along the front edge of the top. Additional surface wear is present on the top, drawer fronts, edges, and legs. The center section opens to reveal the mirror; however, its hinge or support mechanism requires repair and should not be relied upon to hold the mirror securely until corrected. The desk itself feels heavy and sturdy. Refinishing or touch-up would improve its appearance but has been left to the buyer’s preference.
