Small digs and dents in the edges and drawer faces. Significant amount of purple discoloration in a couple of the drawers, the worst of it is included in the photos. None of the purple color is visible from the outside. There is natural wear and tear on edges and the feet, nothing that doesn't come with owning a piece of furniture over 100 years old from the other side of the world. In great, sturdy condition for its age. less
