The top is badly watermarked in several areas. This will require professional restoration. One small loss to chequer banded edge at corner, banding also lifting a tiny bit at one end. Two of the feet have chips out of the corners/edges. Joints a little loose. Other minor surface marks and scratches in line with age and usage.
