What can I say ? they are cheap. I wish they would have been sent unfinished (no lacquer) because I had to do the finish myself anyways : no sanding whatsoever, no rounding up the corners and a finish that is basically just there to keep it from decently absorbing wood oil. But they are cheap, and once the work was done on my side (3-4 days of sanding and oiling) they do look nice.
