Have you considered returning or exchanging it for a better piece with better delivery?
Amazon has been quite co-operative with returns.
The thought crossed my mind, but there really isn't enough of a problem to be worth that much hassle. Already fixed the broken-out slot, and the few little dents, dings and scrapes are not really even noticeable when in position. I think for the money, this unit could be a whole lot worse and still be a bargain!!!
