Condition Details: Save for a few minor veneer repairs this ultra-rare coffee table by Drexel is in original, vintage condition.

With that said the wood is in very good shape with exceptional woodgrains throughout.
The topside door opens and closes with ease exposing a clever storage space underneath and can remain in the open position via a locking mechanism on the door hinge. Both side drawers open and close effortlessly and the fixed shelf adds yet another clever and subtle storage space.
