Overall very good condition. The bench presents with faint minor surface scratches, nicks and scattered very minor abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use. The outer edges of the bench with very nice dovetail joinery. As intended in the design, the front drawer does not sit 100% flush to the rest of the bench (visible in the catalogue illustration). A well-documented design by Osgood, the bench presents very well overall.
