I was hoping that the top wasn't as orange as the pictures and it is actually darkened with clear black finish, like a shadow. The grain show through very nicely. The lacquer finish is perfect. The fancy pieces come wrapped in to sets. There are right and left pieces. I had seen on the pictures that the design seemed rotated. Whoever put the sample together didn't realize this. There is a detailing groove around the pattern so the outside surface.
I only gave it 4 stars because there is an unfinished gap all around the lighter insert. I plan to run a sharpie in it to hide the raw wood. The same size gap runs all the way around so once if the sharpie works I hope it isn't so light. My friend noticed it right away, so it really is obvioius at over an eighth of an inch wide.. It really is lovely. I read the story about worldstock and it was heartwarming to see these craftsmen being given a market to sell their wares at a reasonable but fair price.
