One of the crane welding work from head to neck showed a large split, but the rest of 7 cranes (I ordered four sets) were fine. I pushed the split closer and the gap looks acceptable. But I was okay with it because they are really beautiful and I matched with the taller one to create family ambiance. I recommend buy the family pairs from the same manufacturer because the color and design details can be matched. I am very pleased I bought this and the taller cranes made by the same company.
