Seriously Deej. That says alot. =20

Good to know there are upstanding business owners doing the right

employee is responsible by the numbers you've given him.

You are fixing this world one case at a time.

yep...you definitely need the fret factor. hopefully this will
prevent you from future "pre-manufactured" things and stick to what

Now that is a class act. Customer services is generally so effing bad these
days.

I sent a post to the company where I purchased this bench. I received the
following reply:

I sincerely apologize for any dissatisfaction you have with the Tech
Station and I thank you for bringing this to my attention. I am having
your complete purchase price including shipping refunded to your PayPal
account right away, no need to return the unit you purchased. The Tech
Stations are not for everyone and we do offer everyone a complete refund
if unsatisfied...

About the quality issue, these are all made by hand as we are a small
company and currently do not have the resources to automate the majority
of the fabrication so there will be slight variances but nothing that
should effect performance. Since your bench has some problems I can
only assume that human error was at play, our fabricators were very much
overworked the last couple months - not an excuse, just a potential
reason - and I will be dealing with any quality control issues personally.

Thank you again for your feedback and I hope there is some way we can
compensate you for your trouble and I'll do my best to address any
additional concerns you may have.

That's a class act. I'm suddenly very impressed. II'll probably even give
them another try when I build my dual octocore DAW next week.

I bought one back in October and have been too busy to unbox it until
today. Terrible QC. Surfaces were predrilled exactly backwards and hardware
assembly components were missing. It would have cost me more in time that it
was worth to box it back up and ship it back so I redrilled it and went to
Home Depot because I needed to finish this project, but I'm pissed off and
would never buy another one of these. It's a good design once it's properly
assembled though and I could put one together like this quick and for about
$20.00 with just a little more effort than I spent getting this one up to
speed.

Yer right, That IS a class act, and look what it resulted in...
turned a 100% dissatisfied customer into a possible future
customer after all.

Imagine that.
