CRITICAL DAMAGE & REPAIR NOTE (Please Review Photos Carefully):
- One of the drawers has a significant historical break/split at the bottom-right corner of the drawer front.
- While it has been glued and repaired from the inside, the wood pieces are slightly misaligned, creating a small visible gap, lip, and minor wood loss at the seam. Excess dried glue residue is also visible on the inside and underside.
- Despite this cosmetic and structural defect, the joint is structurally solid and very tight. The drawer is completely functional, slides smoothly, and can easily withstand regular daily use.
- Inclusions: Includes a large batch of authentic vintage handwritten and printed kitchen recipe cards from the previous owner. Sold as-is.
