Repeating pattern of the planks on the floor is the bigger issue.

You could speak to customer services with a complaint. But you may not have a leg to stand on 😶

It's just made out of of two different coloured pieces of timber, perfectly acceptable.

They've attached to pieces of wood together to make a bigger bit - that's how it's done.
If you look at the table top, you'll find that it too has seams where boards were joined - you don't think the entire table was carved out of a single piece of giant tree, do you?

Ah come on it’s it generous to call gluing too pieces together joinery. Joinery usually involves carving at least some kind of rudimentary joint.
Regardless, it’s 2026. We’ve used up all the trees. Oak furniture land is relatively decent value compared to all the MDF veneer monstrosities. OP, this leg is acceptable.

Yes, but what's carpentry got to do with cars pens and trying?!

It's normal but if the other legs aren't quite as multi tonal you could ask for a swap / return and buy a different one. I personally wouldn't care

It only catches the eye when you point on it but then can't unsee (I wouldn't have even noticed at first). I think guests won't pay any attention at all

We agree with you wife, we know what's good for us.

The grade of the wood, from oak furniture land is lower - hence why they're cheaper.
Looks fine to me.

They're taking the piss mate. I had the same issue with them, they exchanged it after I complained in person but it took a few effs and jeffs to take me serious like.Â

why it may be wrong )?

Looks perfectly acceptable. Nice even.
