Minor flaw - blue dye of some description deep within the wood, only noticeable close up but I'm in a profession that must pay close attention to detail. Would return and get a replacement but can't be bothered with the fuss - can't complain for $110 (what would you expect?). Sturdy enough to do it's job, although I wouldn't place any heavy items in or on it - good for just an accent piece in the corner of a room which is what I need it for. Aside from the aforementioned blue dye/paint deep within the finish, it would get 5 stars for the sheer bang/buck.
