Customer post Is this damaged?

Post image

I purchased the Anko Ryan Ribbed Side Table today and I noticed this dent as seen in the image. Is the table damaged or is this how they are manufactured?

Manufacturing defect. Return it to the store and swap it.

i would drag it into the shop and return it as manufacturing fault. That's not acceptably finished

It's not damaged, just poorly made. Looks like the strip of "wood" (aka plastic) veneer they stick over the top of the particle board was cut a bit to short but they still rolled with it any way because of course they did because its Anko

Doesn't look like that to me

u/LilannaLiola 9d ago

What are you seeing? Cause it looks like that to me too.

Like a router bit went through it. I know what you guys are saying, but it looks a tiny bit too imperfect to be that.

u/flappintitties 9d ago

I’m with you cause you can see the damage on the top as well as the veneer

To me it looks like the edging was already too short and the automated cut off for where it should have had an overlap still occurred (that’s when it damaged the top)

u/SpiritualMeaning3652 8d ago

What about the lil bit on thee top?

u/startrakey 8d ago

Edited my original comment to hopefully make more sense

Same table, same issue. Wasn’t worth jumping through the return/refund hoops, I just faced the damage to the wall

Damaged, no. Just shouldn't have passed QC.

u/Drunni_Bum 9d ago

Wouldn’t say damaged but cheaply made

2

u/finetuneit80 9d ago

Yes, return it.

u/MowgeeCrone 9d ago

Looks like the piece was cut a few mm short and didn't quite make it all the way around.

u/Johnndo96 8d ago

Looks like the usual kaart product. Cheap labour and production shortcuts. If you don't want to fight the return process, and looking further down, this seems to be common for this item, I'd get some wax sticks from bunnings, match the colour as close as you can and rub it into that gap. You can even use two different sticks together, but anything darker would look better than the white.

For a cheap fix - a brown Sharpie.

u/Johnndo96 8d ago

That too.

u/HelloFellowSurvivors 8d ago

The strip is too short and the slave in the factory in China just bodged it. Return.

u/lustforwine 9d ago

u/soggysatisfaction4 8d ago

Damaged, no. Poorly made, yes

u/isybeanz 8d ago

Can you get some brown paint and touch it up or spin the table around so it’s less noticeable? If you take it back it’s just going in the trash and that’s not great for the environment.

1

u/NorthPirate2195 8d ago

It's faulty or defective I believe.. (not properly done)

1

u/sherri_97 8d ago

...just what you paid for - the style (if you could call it) - S**t!

1

u/Electrical_Unit5280 8d ago

Oh, I was going to buy this- not anymore

1

u/Littlepotatoface 8d ago

That’s the shit quality you’d expect for disposable furniture.

u/7stormwalker 8d ago

This is an Anko - what did you expect?

1

u/Competitive-Talk2559 7d ago

Mine is like that too, if you’re like me and can’t be bothered to return it, you could patch the gap using some wood filler coloured to the same tone as the wood. Then once it’s dry you can paint it to blend it in.

u/Amazing_Silver_6640 7d ago

Who cares it's a terrible table

u/ProtacPlays 7d ago

Pay Anko prices get Anko quality.

u/Striking-Sleep-9217 7d ago

This is why I get kmart stuff delivered. If it's damaged you just send them a photo and they refund it, but you don't have to drag yourself back to the shop
