A visible attribute (color, finish, texture, profile) differs from the spec or the architect-approved sample.

## What to look for in Division 12 Furnishings

- Laminate color, pattern number, and finish texture mismatch (specific pattern numbers matter - Wilsonart 7949K-07 is not interchangeable with 7949K-12)
- Solid surface or quartz color name/code mismatch (Cambria Brittanicca vs Brittanicca Warm are different products)
- Wood veneer species, cut (plain-sliced, quarter-sliced, rift), and match (book, slip, random) mismatch
- Stain color or finish sheen mismatch on wood casework
- Edge band species or color mismatch with face material
- Shade fabric color or texture mismatch
- Furniture finish or upholstery fabric/color mismatch (COM/COL designation must match spec)
- Hardware finish mismatch (brushed nickel vs satin chrome vs polished chrome)
- Countertop edge profile different from spec (eased edge submitted when ogee specified)

## Severity
