These we so poorly painted when they arrived. They were not “distressed” they were unfinished to some extent. It’s like they added the deep groove as an afterthought and did not paint it at all. Wood dust was even in the groove. I had to repaint them myself before I could use them. 
Also, it looked like a raised thumbprint or something on the front of each one that must have been where it was held during painting. That is still noticeable even after repainting. Disappointed.

Last photo shows a weird stamp spot. No idea what this is but looks terrible
