Please see photos for an accurate depiction of condition. The wooden base has been painted with a sheer matte white paint. This paint shows all of the knots and striations of the wood. There is some scratching of the wood on the corners and sides. The glass is in great shape however there are two tiny scratches on the bottom which don't affect the look or functionality of the piece. I have included pictures as best as I can to show all sides of the piece. That being said, this is a stunning piece and would look beautiful in any coastal-themed house.
