We would have given more stars but this piece arrived with some flaws, cosmetic and mechanical. The cosmetic ones looked to us to be factory[...] There was a hairline crack in the finish on the base, and another spot that looked like it was retouched at the factory. Unfortunately these were not noticed until the piece was partially assembled. This piece is held together with concealed bolts. One of the bolt sockets had no threads (not stripped, literally no threads) so the bolt turned and turned until we realized with some astonishment what the problem was. We purchased a tapping kit and threaded the socket ourselves and were able to complete assembly. With all these problems, why didn't we simply exchange the piece? We needed it as part of opening a new office and were on a short deadline. Under better circumstances we would have definitely done an exchange.
