Ditto on what the other reviewer said. There are blemishes and it's just painted over. It's not terribly noticeable unless you are putting it together or looking for them. The wood is extremely light. It's probably the lightest/cheapest pine. I was also disappointed in the glass top. From the pictures it looks like the glass covers the whole top. It does not. It's got the white wood border around it. Comparing it to others, guess you get what you pay for. It's mid priced and it's a mid quality cart.
