The finish is excellent. Very well constructed. All parts fit perfectly. There was some holes in the packaging from delivery but the thickest of the packaging material protected the table. The only issue I had during assembly were the small screws that attach the drawer sliders. I had 3 heads break off before I had it tightened down all the way. I had to drill out new holes for new screws. Luckily there were some extra screws provided so I didn't have to purchased any.
