Disclaimer: Due to the nature of the laser cutting there will be slight scorch marks on these items. This is normal with laser cut materials and does not impede or impact on the performance of the product. The majority of these marks will disapear when a paint finish or stain is added. If the aesthetics of the product are of a high consideration to you rather than their performance may I suggest you do not make a purchase as a refund cannot be given in regard of these marks.
