To be honest, the tables came so well packed that we were dissapointed to find the surface on two tables badly marked. In fairness the tables were replaced without fuss and again one table had a blemish in what would appear to be the varnish finish. We thought we could live with that. Verdict extremely well made,good to look at just a shame about the blemishes which are appear to be caused at source before the laquer finish is dried.Customer Service BTW was excellent when cotacted re problem..a big plus in this day and age of couldn't give a monkey's.!!!
