Please study my photographs for a few minor spots or scratches - these are truly commensurate with age and hard to see - there is a 1/4 section of the upper book case fret work partially gone but it has been stained to match the rest of the desk and blends in nicely. The majority of the wear spots are inside the 4 drawers which you only see when you pull the drawers out to access your precious collectibles.
