Love these- they do have some brush strokes and small pale grey paint dots on some legs. I looked at all the legs and chose the ones with the least imperfections to be in the front since they are interchangeable. They have some scrapes and nicks - casual pieces which is what I wanted. The tray does come out fairly far which is nice for drinks. The legs had plastic protectors which take some efforts to unscreww off but if you use teething protection wrap for grip it is much easier. The other reviews talked about the tight space for the nuts- very true but if you lay the piece upside down and follow the directions, it is doable. It took me about 20 minutes to put each one together. Overall worth the price and effort.
