Part of the table surface was damaged at the factory (I鈥檓 assuming) and they 鈥渇ixed鈥 it with white paint. It鈥檚 not the end of the works and I didn鈥檛 notice until fully assembled but for the amount of money this table costs I would expect no defects. I do love the size, how compact it becomes when not in use as well as the adjustable height. I would still recommend for sewing/crafting.
