The wood on the edge of the legs had some rough spots. I took a nail buffer and smoothed it because it might have given me a splinter. That was enough to smooth, but not interfere with the finish. If you look closely, there are some other problems, like a small crack under the top, but I turned that to the wall. Otherwise it arrived in good shape, was easy to assemble and is a pretty solid piece. I wanted something that size and with a shelf, so I 'm happy.
