While I'm unsure of the type of wood, it remains in reasonably good condition given its age.
The key for the cabinet doors is currently misplaced, but I’ll do my best to locate it before collection.

With a light sand and a coat of varnish, it has great potential to be restored to its former charm.

Will the use of AI to complete daily tasks, particularly school work, impact cognitive abilities and creativity?
Recent work out of a MIT Media Lab suggests that people who used ChatGPT have lower brain engagement than those who did not when writing their essays. While the MIT Media Lab work has driven headlines recently, others have been quick to remind us that the fear of technology is nothing new.
We want to know: Is AI an addition to the technological toolbox, or should we be having bigger conversations about the impact of AI technology?
