WORKSHOP REPORT:
This pair of cabinets are in fantastic condition there is as anyone would expect some signs of previous ownership but nothing that requires mentioning just the odd mark through use and due to age. There is some nibbles on the shelving mostly at the back due to being caught I would imagine on the cast shelving brackets these again are not an issue and we have not replaced the shelves as we didn’t deem it necessary but that could be done if you so desired but really the nibbles are not noticeable when the shelving is fitted and dressed. less
