A decorative tip on the lower brass hinge of the right-hand door is missing. The wood has been stripped of its dark surface finish, sanded and bleached, revealing the texture of the oak in a light colour and without any sealant.

The wardrobe can be dismantled into several parts for transport (base, 2 side panels, 2 doors, multi-part back panel, centre rail, cornice, shelf and clothes rail) and reassembled using wooden plug-in joints, wooden dowels and 2 screws. See less
