We purchased this end table the previous week. The unit that arrived had a little scratch and some paint built up at the top. We were able to sort it out with a quick call to Wayfair customer service. The replacement unit we received has no cosmetic issues and we are very happy with our purchase. Quick tip: you may want to assemble the bottom shelf as you are assembling the legs one at a time. Will save you time and prevent you from scratching.
