The bookcase is flawed - a gash on the top of the top shelf that someone tried to fix by filling it, but they made it worse. We might be able to fix that by digging out the fill and living with the flaw (instead of the lump). Also, the back of the top shelf has a wave to it, as if the veneer was cut slightly too large, then forced down and glued, and it pulled up again before hardening. This can't be fixed. None of this will show once I put stuff on that shelf, but it's disappointing. The rest of the finish was good, and I might decide to keep it for now.
