Factory Seconds
What are factory seconds?
Factory seconds are items with minor cosmetic imperfections that occurred during manufacturing or transit. These pieces don't meet the exacting standards for full-price sale but are structurally sound and fully functional. We don't often know the reasons why an item may have failed Quality control as its not listed, at worst it may be a split/crack on one area or a corner nock, at best there won't be any obvious signs of imperfections whatsoever, as we deal only with high end suppliers, who often give unto 15 year warranties on furniture when bought directly from them, this means quality control is extremely strict and often what they fail, the average person would never see.
