Oki it works much better... But what happens if I don't want to use hard
edge, and use a Bevel... I get the same type of result.. all distorted. For
example, on a small job we had to render 3D text with reflection. The edges
were beveled but the reflection on the front face was all distorted (like
the image).
Is the only factor normals?
PS - for this scene, I'll use hard edges. Thanks for the tip!

Have you already tried to create hard edges on the boundaries of that
object? It looks like the distortion is caused by interpolated vertex
normals. To check, take a look at those normals, they have to be
splitted up and not appear unified at the edges of your object to make
it work the way you want.
Hope that helps...
