Very nice, but there are defects

I bought this small urn to display at my brothers memorial service.  The urn is very nice, but as the description mentions this is a natural product and each one varies.  My particular urn had a very large void on one side.  The finish is nice, the wood grain is quite striking and the item is definitely one of a kind.  There is also a round piece of wood covering the bottom so the item could hold small objects or be filled with glass beads and a flower or two.  Overall, this was a good price and a nice item.

I would have given it 5 stars had one of the corners not been slightly damaged. Looks like it got damaged while being shipped. I chose not to return or exchange because I didn't want to hassle with it for such a small defect, it's only noticeable if you look real close. Otherwise it is beautiful and fits nicely with my other decor.

I purchased this set over the holidays for a couple of dinner parties. It's a beautiful set that received many compliments. Very elegant and excellent accents to a variety of decor.

But if you look very closely at a few of the plates (three of them), we noticed flaws in the trim, where the plate edges were not 100% smooth and had a very slight dent. This was before I handwashed them, so I don't think it was my handling of the plates that caused the dents. I have used them about 4-5 times since Christmas and handwashed them each time. The trim is staying intact, not flaking as reviews have indicated. I use a soft sponge and soak them before washing.

This is a very economical set that gets a lot of notice from our dinner guests, so I don't mind the small imperfections. I'd love a flawless set, but I don't want to spend $100 a setting to get it! With two small children, I don't want to shed tears if a plate or bowl gets broken! Maybe in 10 years I'll replace this set with something of better quality, but until then, this set will do.

We did have a small mix-up, where Amazon sent me 2 settings (we purchased 8) of an older version of this pattern. To be fair, the boxes had the exact same pattern name, but the cup and saucer were designed differently. I emailed and they quickly sent us replacements, so that was solved to my satisfaction.

This is a nice and sturdy table. It looks great abd took all of 4 mins to asssemble (screwing parts together, no tools needed).  There is a discolored gray patch on the side of one spindle, the upper one (couldnt even get it off with a magic eraser) and two big dents in the wood on the side of the lower spindle. So there is certainly a quality assurance issue that these passed an inspection. So I just aimed that side toward the wall. Looks great otherwise! At least the table top was perfect!

Attractive boxes.  I ordered two.  One had loose sides - the corners had not been properly glued.  I was able to glue them myself but a sign of build quality issues.  Still, for the price, they are quite nice.

looks good from afar, but up close imperfections are noticeable.

I really love this set. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the quality control. My absolute favorite setting is the one with the tree on the back. There are 2 in this set. Unfortunately, one of the glass cabs is seriously deformed. I can't swap out with another cab as they are specifically sized to their matching setting. I'm going to experiment with diamond glaze or resin as a patch. Maybe it will work!

The vase itself is very pretty and I really like it.  However, it has two noticeable blemishes on the finish.  I wish the quality control had been higher so that I wasn't sent the exact one that I got.  All that being said, it seems like a hassle to mail it back and get a new one though.

Ive been so conflicted as to how I should review this nightstand. I ordered two of them to have a matching set, and they are by no doubt gorgeous. They make my room look so much better than before. I love the carvings on the wood, the style of the legs, and the knob on the drawer. I also believe their claims that its made of real wood.

All this being said, both of the nightstands I received were very flawed. The assembly should have been easy, despite the entirely useless instructions, but when screwing in the bottom of one of the legs to the longer portion of the leg (with the wooden panel between them), the whole socket for the screw (please forgive my incorrect terminology) came out. I tried to glue it back in over night, but it just came out again. I settled on putting the others in and just having one very unstable leg that I have to be very careful with. In the other nightstand I received, one of the screw sockets in the longer portion of the leg was put in sideways, so that the rest of the leg would be a bit sideways. This not only made for a slightly sideways leg, but also created a lot of tension between the legs, making it so that the nightstand might not make it too long before it breaks. This was very disappointing.

Aside from the major flaws, the distressing on the top of the nightstand and on the little panel below is strangely symmetrical and doesnt look too good. It just kind of looks damaged by a machine or something that dragged across the top and scraped it perfectly. I will post a picture of that. Other than that, the rest of the distressing is good.

The drawer of the table was already in the top portion which you don't have to assemble at all (thank goodness) and works very well, but it is an incredibly small drawer. You can fit a book or maybe two in there.

I would recommend this product to someone if it didn't have the major flaws that mine did because its an absolutely beautiful table for a pretty low price. But even so, I don't think its worth the money if it is as flawed as mine.

this product is very nice. it looks great! mine came damaged. i decided just to deal with the damage rather than have to deal with sending it back and waiting for a new one. some of the coating was off of it and the metal was rusted on a few areas. i just painted it with some black paint... its not perfect but it will work and is better than dealing with the hassle of sending it back. the bottom does seem a little unsteady and does wobble a bit. i would recommend this too a friend but would worn them of possible problems. the maker should probably do better quality checks on their products.

This is a beautiful knife, but there are some Delaminations along the spine and edge, which weakens the structural integrity of it.  I can see this blade chipping it's edge, so the functionality of this particular one is lessened.  Also the edge is not straight.  It was sharpened on one side more than the other.  It is a heavy blade and looks really nice.  The Damscus Steel is beautiful for sure.  The leather case is nice.  You have to insert the strap that holds it down and conform it to the knife, but it's stiff leather and to be expected.  I tried to get the best pictures I could to show you examples of my complaints on this particular knife.  Again I'm sure not all of them are like this, because it is handmade.  Just the particular knife I was sent had it's flaws and I'm a stickler for details.  I have been collecting knifes since I was a kid.

It's pretty obvious why someone returned this to Amazon but I'm OK with the defects because it's a really nice salad bowl otherwise. I purchased this via Amazon Warehouse deals as "Like New."

There are some imperfections around the lip where the grey transitions into white. These are not very noticeable unless you are really looking for them, and I was since it was an Amazon Warehouse deal. I'm not sure I would pay $100 for it brand new but I am very pleased with my purchase.

Beautiful set and good price.  Love the color and size.  Perfect for the matching lamps in my bedroom. Unfortunately the interior lining or shell of one the shades is cracked.  Sadly, this was not evident until the cellophane wrapper was removed.  I think that it happened during packing and not shipment.  The box was not damaged at all.  I like the shades so not returning, but disappointed.  I will make sure that damaged side is not visible.  I hope that this does not compromise the functionality of the shades.

Beautiful and well constructed, but the center console part was damaged due to inadequate packaging and had to be returned. It's too bad because it's really a gorgeous piece, and would have looked great in my space. When I returned it, they said that they weren't selling any more at this time because of the issues with damage. Really unfortunate. If they fixed the packaging issues so it would arrive unscathed, I would be very tempted to try it again because I really haven't found anything I like better.

Theses are gorgeous. The glass is a lovely ocean blue and looks very beautiful in the sunlight. One of the two I ordered was in perfect condition. The second one has some issues. For starters, the door hinge on lantern number two is crooked which makes it a challenge to close the door once it's opened. Also, on the second lantern, the crown which holds the loop at the top is sauntered on crooked which looks stupid. I am hoping that once I hang it up, it will be less noticeable. 5 stars for the first lantern. 2 stars for the second. Therefore, I granted a total score of 3 stars for the inconsistency of quality control.

I am giving 4 stars only because the chair came with a few defects - some scratches and a broken plastic part that is like a "cover" for the mechanism right under the seat . Which of course was inconvenient because I am not going to return the whole chair for a miner defect or two - it's a large heavy package after all. It's nice looking and comfortable chair, but the defects that came with were a bummer....they are supposed to check on those things before shipping the order!

It is beautiful but came with a piece of the glass lamp shade missing. I bought it used but supposedly "like new and still in the original box."
The styrofoam was torn to pieces and the box was badly damaged. I wanted it in my living room and I knew there was a chance if I sent it back
and ordered another one, the same problem could occur. So, I have it being a marvelous piece of lighting to look at and give light in my living
room. I love it flaws excepted.
