The first lamp we received had damaged legs. They were scratched as if it were a return, but in addition, it looks like the wood had imperfections and they attempted to fill in gouges with wood filler in the factory. The wood filler was quite obvious. However, Wayfair was great about sending a new one, and this one has much better legs! It did take a while to get it resolved (2-3 months...) but the second lamp is perfect. Just watch for quality!
