I think I’ll be bothered too if I noticed that on my bag. Maybe try to exchange another one? Because it’s such a big purchase! Don’t let it bother you, get the one you are satisfied with! 
Is this a defect, is this normal for this Chanel item?

Don’t worry about it! Just enjoy your bag. When you start stuffing your bag, I’m sure the lining will flatten out more. I don’t have my CF with me right now but I’m sure mine was like this too.
My 10 year old reissue has a lot of ‘air bubble’. My new medium CF doesn’t. These are expensive bags, so if it bothers you, exchange it. I had to do that because the first CF I got had a loose stitch right by the clasp. The SA said it’s no big deal and they can just tuck it in, but it was a big deal to me and that was all I could see. Good luck.
For any new bags from recent years this is pretty typical. I had a fresh 29 series from boutique with this issue. My suggestion is to find a preloved in mint condition if it bothers you a lot; I sold the 29 series and bought a 12 series instead. The lining sits flat. Good luck!
My medium cf doesn’t have this issue. My small does. My grey CF had this issue; after two uses it flatteened out completely. I wouldn’t let the lining bother u but rather the stitching and if the flap is symmetrical.
I always understood that modern Chanel hardware isn't a true silver metal, as it is a base metal that has been coated in a shiny silver coating. I would be bothered if I got scratches like that on a supposedly brand new bag. Even if it was a return, the rate that the hardware is getting scratched up like that would be concerning - how will is look after a few months of wear? These are not cheap bags and should be able to last at least several years with regular wear.
My Chanel classic flap has this issue
It’s gotten better but it was a lot worse in the beginning

I just bought the medium CF. Is this normal ? Seem like the termination point is not done properly. However I check the display piece is like that too and staff mention it is not a defect. Can anyone advise

As others have said above, this is normal but if you’re unhappy, I suggest returning it.
I know what exactly you're talking about. Mine are the same as shown in the pictures. The caviar on the corners is less grained.
And, the chain is absolutely normal. Congratulations on your first Chanel. You got the gorgeous color! Just be careful with the color transfer.

the SA told me all these are normal and the loose threads are normal. But how is this normal. Quite upset about it
