Condition report:

The cabinet exhibits several structural splits, most notably a significant vertical separation in the interior backboard and a horizontal crack on the top right-front corner of the stand base. There is visible wood loss on the interior edge of one door frame and a small chip at the rear corner of the stand edge. General surface wear including scuffs, finish loss, and minor dings are present throughout, particularly on the legs and feet. The interior backboard shows evidence of staining and foxing.
