Condition report:
The chest exhibits significant wood loss and splintering to the lower right-hand front corner, exposing the unstained wood grain beneath the finish (photo 6). The top surface shows several long scratches, a curved surface mark, and general scuffing to the edges (photo 1). General wear and minor paint loss are visible on the black-painted dividers and the edges of the drawer fronts (photo 4 and photo 5). The drawer interiors show natural variations in the wood and some staining from use (photo 1).
