I purchased this mug tree set at a "give-away" price! I had a feeling it was too good to be true but hey I thought I'd give it a try. Most times when I take a chance on "open box" items, I've gotten lucky in the past. Till now everything else I'd ordered from the "open box" section, has been a great buy. This time out of the six mugs that came with the mug tree, three of them were chipped on the top edges. Considering the price I payed, this was O.K. I still got three nice mugs and a mug tree out of it! Hey...sometimes you win a few, and sometimes you don't! I'm NOT discouraged! LOL!
