It's hard to really judge the "flatness" from a photograph.
But the general quality of the finish is extremely poor.
It looks more like a wall that has had 20 years of beating
and multiple patches.

As a new wall, I'd consider it perfectly unacceptable.

Wavy? Who knows - a straight-on pic just doesn't show much.

In a small room you'd need to either point the cam from ceiling level
down to show the wall/floor intersection or up from floor level at the
wall/ceiling joint to get any idea of waviness.

The finish/paint job is crap - I'm currently skimming all the walls in
my 50 yr. old house to smooth out stuff like that.
