I purchased the grey finish. And just like most, I too, have the same problem with the gap between the first 2 doors and the unevenness as well. It took me approximately 2 hours to put together. I spent extra time trying to adjust screws to see if I could minimize the issues, but no such luck! From my sofa, you can definitely tell the manufacturers errors. Other than these issues, it does look stunning, from a distance.
