Bad finish on the bevel?

13 years ago

I received Brazilian walnut samples from Brazilian Direct and BR111. The wood is very nice but on both samples (more so with the Brazilian Direct sample) the finish on the bevel is splotchy and incomplete. The most obvious consequence is an unsightly lighter colored line around the board. Is this typical of most prefinished flooring? Has anybody tried culling boards like these and getting refund or replacement? Thanks for any insights.
