This stand is made of chromed steel wire poor, which was lousy processed and welded inaccurate. Remaining Point weld spatter and an associated offset the ring in which the shell is, are only two of the shortcomings. Even he is not just on a work surface. Where we are right at the shell. Very insufficient glazed bowl with far too thinner glaze, in probably swam for many crumbs. So at least the many streaks, unevenness and the very thin application would explain. Anyway, she does not look nice. - My already also had two small quirks. And I miss an imprint of "Rosenstein & Söhne" at the bottom. So the shell can come anywhere ... I can only advise.
And the return to Pearl I've now given up to one and a half weeks. Fairly poor and unreliable service.
