Timbernation Platform Problems

I recently bought a 19" x 19" x 2" maple platform from Timbernation. The plan was to use this platform with my Zoethecus amp stand for supporting my ARC Ref110 amp. When I received maple platform one of the sides was not properly planed down. The surface is irregular and rough. I will try to post a photo or two soon. 

When I contacted Mariah at Timbernation via email here is the response I received: "I showed Chris the pics and he said that it will fit into your stand just fine. Did you try it yet? You will be able to put the unfinished side down into your stand and the finished side will be facing up." 

I expected a maple block that was of high quality and not one that has significant imperfections on one side. Has anyone had any similar experiences with Timbernation? Should I just accept this? Any input or advise is appreciated.

I am a happy customer, got a custom stand 4 levels for my PS Audio Stack and I enjoyed the quality. Yes, my top side is better polished, but the bottom side is invisible. I literally had to look it from the bottom of my stack to notice it. 

So yes there may be much better quality racks at $8k but mine was $1,500 with heavy wood, cones etc.

It's a year since I got the rack and it has no problems with coloration, wood, cones etc. 

Would I buy again from Timbernation? Yes, I am.

I have bought several platforms from Timber Nation with no issues.  Quality is first rate. Mapleshade is too expensive for me.

In the past 12 months I have purchased a 4 shelf "custom" stand as well as 5 individual platforms....never had an issue.  Well made, well finished and packaged very well for shipping which is included in the price.   I would not hesitate to order from Chris and company in the future.
