The table came with two scratches on the wood. I colored the scratches with a permanent marker and now is not noticeable. The table was inexpensive and you get what you pay for as far as the quality of the manufactured wood.  It is sturdy and the design is attractive. There was a similar table on Wayfair that was more expensive but I chose this one because it has two tones, brown and black. I use it on my entryway and will hang a mirror above the table.
