I am a novice blacksmith and this is my first anvil. After receiving the anvil and dressing it, I used it in my blacksmithing class. My instructor and I used it for 3 solid hours and it held up very well. There were some minor imperfections from manufacturing, but nothing that I wasn't able to address with a file or angle grinder.
I ordered this directly from Vevor versus Amazon or another company. The service was rapid and delivered as promise. It arrived faster than Amazon quoted as well.
For the price, I think you'll be hard pressed to find a better anvil. I recommend this product!
