Condition
Overall in very good condition. The top surface with a few minor surface scuffs and scratches. The front proper left panel with a minor dent measuring approximately 1/8 in. in diameter, not visually distracting. The metal surfaces with minor wear to the patina, a few minor surface scratches and minor abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. Please note that the commode does not include a shelf. A playful model very representative of the designer.
