I purchased this item as a Christmas gift for my wife. The first one I received was damaged on all corners. I assume it was damaged in shipping. The replacement was much better, but I noticed some similar damage on the corner that looks like it was repaired with a small amount I wood putty and paint. So now I'm wondering if the original was damaged during shipping or came from the factory like that. Overall I am satisfied with the product but I'm not impressed with the quality for the price.
