Quality Control Issues,

This review is from: Le Classique Table 36'' x 24'', John Boos RN-C3624
The table arrived in separate boxes well packed. All parts were there. This is a solid table; the legs are quite thick, and of a single piece of wood, much like a tapered 3x3. You do need two to put it together, and although the instructions are a bit vague, it is quite easy. Heavy and solid when together. So far, five stars.
The trouble is with the quality of the top and the shelving. The top had a repaired crack in it, about three inches long from one side, and almost through the table. The finish, which is supposed to be only slightly matt in appearance, actually looked as if someone had wiped the top down with a dirty dish rag and left it to dry. There was a streaky film all over the top that did not wipe off--it is the finish itself, so it will have to be sanded and resealed to get rid of it. Additionally, whoever put the varnish on did so against, not with, the flow of the grain of the wood. Overall, a very unprofessional job.
We also had two shelves...Read more
