What does this mean?

This is a vintage, early 20th century, about 1920 - 1930s linen press dresser with cupboard style double door front and with 4 pull-out sliding interior drawers under a top drawer. This would be used for storing dining linens such as tablecloths. The front is veneered, which is evidenced by the surface peeling seen in the image. This damage is due to temperature extremes and exposure to dampness. Peeling veneer does not take well to refinishing nor is repairing/replacing the veneer cost efficient. The item overall, is in fair condition. The estimate factors in the condition and is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
