    When helping with the unboxing of a friends new stern, I noticed the plywood texture is very easily seen thru the artwork and clear coat. Almost how an old planked EM looks when it is worn thru but of course it is brand new so no wear has occured.

    Is this OK to leave alone and in a home use only it should be good, or is there a quality issue that may need addressed?

    I will try to get some pics to post when I go over tonight to update the game code, and of course get his permission to post further details.

    Yes you can feel the texture with a finger nail. The surface is not bothersome cosmetically, I was wondering if the durability would be an issue.

    I hope these images show what I am talking about. The cosmetics are not an issue at all if the durability is ok. Did anyone have a playfield like this that started to wear thru? I can see why this is called "ribbing" instead of planking.
