the case retains its original finish. There are chips and roughness all along the edges of the upper left cornice and lowest molding. Three pieces of dentil molding surrounding the top are damaged. The molding below upper cabinet has two areas near rear that are damaged on each side. The rear right caster has some water damage above where it is anchored.
