Quality & Condition This original Stag Cantata chest of drawers is in good used condition, with all eight drawers smoothly sliding on their runners. Constructed with dovetail joints, the drawers offer durability and longevity, ensuring this classic piece remains functional and stylish for years to come. The interiors are clean and tidy, ideal for storing clothing, accessories, or household essentials. To preserve its authentic character, we have cleaned and applied a natural beeswax polish to the exterior surfaces. However, we have left the original finish untouched, meaning there are some signs of wear and tear consistent with age and use. The handles show light wear, but they remain structurally sound. The drawer fronts have minor superficial marks, but nothing significant to detract from the overall appearance. The top surface has some scuffs and marks, typical of a piece of this age—please refer to the photos for a detailed look. Overall, this mid-century STAG Teak Chest of Drawers are in well-preserved condition, retaining its rich patina and character while remaining fully functional.
