It is a heavy trunk of solid wood and it has to be carried by at least two or three people. I like the design, the weight and the style, however, there are 6 cuts, as shown in the pictures, on the surface which I am not sure whether it is defects or part of the style. It does not look like the damage en route, yet it more looks like from the factory. Should not be total smooth for the table surface or people in 21 century actually prefer some defective beauty I could not help to wonder. As I have missed the best time for return and it is too troublesome to put it back, I chose to bear with it. Nothing in this world is perfect, right
