Wow, at least mine was installed tight with no visible cuts, but as far as to straightness of stretch, well, let's just say a drunken sailor's walk would be much straighter. Diamond really should crack down on some of their authorized sellers and installers. While I realize there are great ones out there, this seems like a common theme lately among some of their authorized sellers, and quite honestly the customer should be able to expect a quality install when buying this level of table. This luck of the draw install senerio rests solely on Diamond for letting retailers sell and install their product unprofessionally.
