Bought three of this series, primarily to hold drip-drying clothes in my laundry room. Two of the three bars had significant scratches, or big areas of discoloration/greenish flaws in the finish. These are indeed flaws, NOT charming handcrafted idiosyncracy. The other piece had some minor flaws. Because these bars are going up in the laundry room, they will be acceptable, but I plan to lightly spray the bars with bronze paint to cover up the conspicuous flaws. The bars were inexpensive, but they are not of very heavy weight, either. If you are buying these bars to impress, these may not be the bars for you.
