Underwhelmed at the condition of this piece. I understand that these are handmade, that there are variations in shade, grain and even the actual size, within a very small margin. 

However, my piece arrived with a broken packet of whatever it is that is supposed to prevent moisture. It had spread across the piece and it now means a big clean-up to get rid of the residue. There is also a grey/ashy look to much of each end of the table. Plus, there are spots and edges of the wood that look worn and chipped. Again, this is a natural, organic, handmade piece, but it looks a little abused. It looks like it has been sitting in a warehouse for a very long time.

I will be lightly sanding, waxing and refurbishing this table. I do like the scale and it will be a nice addition to my living room.
