The gallery backsplash is presently not firmly attached, but the piece is accompanied by four screws that will secure it once arrived at its final destination. Lacking keys for the drawers. Age crack through the top, from one side to the other, with associated veneer lifting on one side. Few other areas of veneer lifting due to shrinkage. few minor areas of veneer loss/patches.
