Important Notes:
The back panel (wall side) consists of three layers of wood that have separated slightly due to age-related deterioration. While these areas have been repaired, additional reinforcement may be needed if using this piece as a functional wall-mounted writing desk rather than just for decorative purposes.
The lacquer finish has deteriorated and is peeling in some areas.
