The interior shelves and drawer boxes show light staining and marks from previous use (photo 6 and 7). The top drawer\'s green felt lining is intact but shows light wear (photo 7). The unfinished back panel exhibits some dark staining and water-mark style discoloration (photo 8). All sliding mechanisms and drawers appear functional.
