I mean, it's a great big lump of steel, and a good one at that. My resident smith is pretty happy with it. Shipping warning: it came in a cardboard box with a layer of bubble wrap around it, which was woefully inadequate. The poor delivery person struggled mightily to get it to the door, then turfed it out unceremoniously onto the concrete, which yielded somewhat to the might of this item. I'm not sure how to fix that except maybe to put out some plywood and tip money when the delivery is expected. The anvil itself meets expectations.
