There are some scattered small veneer flakes at perimeter edges, and a more notable veneer loss at the top of a front foot. One rear leg has an area of veneer tears and a loss just above it. Lock, escutcheon and interior are missing. The armoire originally bolted together. The bolts are absent and it is now joined with screws. The assembled piece is sturdy, stable and free of movement.
