The handles have noticeable lines from fabrication. Additionally the paint or coating seems like it will come off easily. The handle I opened had a flake of gold chip come off from the back side. That’s concerning as to the durability of the coating overall. 

I opened a second handle to compare and it seems like they all have the same lines from the fabrication. These should have smooth finishes. They have potential to be good because it is a beautiful handlepull but with the marks they all have they look cheap unfortunately. I had to return this item. I was charged for return shipping. I don’t think that’s fair considering the item is practically damaged.
