Slight color variation to leaves (leaves are lighter while ends appear to have been refinished),grain is consistent throughout, leaves not warped or sagging with assembled. Scattered cracks to edges throughout, most small, though some extend slightly onto surface. One leaf with chipped loss about 1 1/2 inch to veneer along edge. Otherwise, there are the typical nicks to legs, light usage wear abrasions to the surfaces, and a few water marks to one end. The smallest length with just the 24-inch leaf is 71 1/2 inches. At longest (which when fully extended fits all but the smaller 24-inch leaf),the table is 20 feet long.
