Really does it's job, velure coating - best one.
Drawbacks: Will not last like for years, paint really easy can be scratched (by bare hands ...). One nut failed while assemblying (those are common nuts what i had in my toolbox, so just taken one mine). And even after firmly screwed - bench legs still have some play (can't say will that be a problem in the future).
P.S.: one i received is made by gewa, but having thomann label on package.
