When you order something that is described as being made of quality wood such as oak and walnut, you expect the wood to be reasonably finished. Unfortunately, the finish on this product is generally poor - across two that we ordered, one is tolerable and the other is very rough instead. We've salvaged things using some fine grade sandpaper and Danish oil, so they will look reasonable, but really not the quality I would have expected for the material or the price. Buyer beware!
