Packing was poorly done, feet was protruding from the bottom of the flimsy cardboard box, the anvil horn was punched thru the box, in spite of all that the anvil was undamaged due to shipping.
There are some pln holes in the face of the anvil which are minor, hardie hole needs work. For the money you can鈥檛 go wrong, I do recommend it over a cast iron anvil the face is hardened, according to my file test. I have a similar style Kanka anvil which is far superior, but it also cost 5 times more. I have no regrets buying this and would buy again.
