The frame has scratches and nicks. The frame is welded. The corners are uneven on all of the tables. If you aren't familiar with welding tools look up the words "angle grinder" you will have a better understanding of how the tables could've looked with more effort. The frames are not as well done as they could be. If you don't mind the way they look then it shouldn't be a problem. If I'd attached all of the pics I had there would be 20. The pics attached give you an idea of what I mean. The corners of the tables look the same as the pics on all of the tables. Some corners are smooth and some have deep scratches from the grinder.
