New place to eat..

Our new dining room set arrived yesterday and we are happy with the overall appearance:



However, there are some major flaws that will necessitate replacements after the holiday...

First, on the top right side of the china hutch, the door does not close flush against the edge.



There is this lovely gouge on the left door of the buffet:



and there is a very long and deep scratch along the entire width on the top of one of the sliding doors on the hutch.



We had made arrangements with Raymour & Flanigan to deliver these pieces so that we would have a table for the holiday so they WILL return with the new pieces in January. The top of the hutch, however, was supposed to be a brand new piece (it was still plastic-wrapped), but, apparently, the inspection process is a little lacking in the R & F warehouse!
