For a tube that was shipped from the states, I am very impressed with the condition that it was in when it arrived. I live in northern Ontario.  When wiping it down ,my wife notice a 3 inch gouge.  I  read the instructions for the repairs of scratches and gouges and repaired the tube to perfection.  2000 grit sandpaper and polishing compound and a buffing pad works awesome.  I received a discount from Wayfair.  Not much but still verrrrry happy with our purchase.
