Splitting in the veneer to the side of both rotating drawers and each leg, and abrasive marks to the surface scattered throughout. Separation of the veneer from the base wood on the right mirror support, and loss on the top corner of the opposite support. The table top mirror surface in dirty condition, but intact. The round vanity mirror also in good and stable condition.
The chair stable overall, the upholstering in good condition, the veneer splitting, cracking and with areas of loss to each leg, the back, and the front framing. See addition images for further reference to condition.
