Several leaves exhibit similar shrinkage lines. There are small chips to one half of the top just above several of the dowel holes where the two sections join. Some of the leaves are very slightly darker in color than the top. The difference is primarily one of depth of color, the tone/shade of both top and leaves matches well.

The legs are reduced from the bottom. They are original. Some bottom underside glue blocks are original, others replaced. The scroll tip of one bracket foot is replaced.
