It came with a lot of defects and splints. This piece is not sealed at all , just stained. Remember that if you are putting it outside. It will not last and it will end up with mold. I placed it at my front porch under roof but I still bought a outdoor sealant and added around 6 coats of it to protect it.

The instructions even clearly state that you need to seal it for more protection. And I will definitely suggest that before placing it outdoor. It’s a nice piece but quality control is lacking and it doesn’t come sealed for outdoors.
