Surprise Christmas/ Birthday gift gone bad!

Recent Simonis 860 install by a table mechanic from a local billiards shop. I really don't want to buy a copy of the Simonis install video but I'm quite sure this technique is not on there. I don't think this can be fixed. I want it replaced and stretched correctly and the pockets looking like every other table I've seen.
Am I out of line expecting a professional look?
How can this be acceptable?

Coming undone, strings showing!

Really? More terrible cuts!

Yet another pocket! Can't even run a ball down this rail
Fold lines more lines enough already!

Was told the "fold lines" would eventually calm down and go away. Clearly it was not from a bolt but from a package. Normal?
Looking for thoughts, critisism, options, what to avoid when they return.

Pictures pretty much tell the story.
What to avoid?
Don't do anything that might land you in the pokey.
You'd think that the mechanic would be extra diligent about doing a good job in these times of business struggles.
Good luck.
