Condition Report
The top of the table is showing the moulding around its edge through the veneer and the surface has some blemishes.
The interior slides smoothly as expected one of the compartments has a split to the sliding cover.
The roulette wheel surround has cracked from uneven shrinkage.
The table is structurally good but will need some cosmetic work and repairs to the splits in the compartment covers.
