Very good .A minor bit of adjustment needed on the top as the edge needs someadjustment .The plywood back where the books would rest against does have old worm holes if one shines a torch on or looks closely at .There is no evidence of any worm in the actual oak .Totally untouched at present .Remnants of a paper label underneath .
