Spanish term or phrase: regular estado físico de conservación
Hola,

El texto a continuación es parte de un informe sobre el estado físico y estético de un edificio que será remodelado:

Mobiliario: Presenta regular estado físico de conservación, sin embargo sería recomendable considerar una restauración o mantenimiento de algunas piezas asesorándose de un ebanista-carpintero además de revisar al detalle sus mecanismos de rotación y cerraduras.

IMHO, too many words to say "It is properly preserved", me parece que lo de físico se sobre entiende; sin embargo, me gustaría leer la opinión de los demás.

Saludos y desde ya, gracias.
