After doing quite a bit of research and shopping around, I decided to order this 132 pound anvil. While it is not as fancy or attractive as other anvils it size, no other anvil can beat the price. I took a chance on this anvil and am glad I did. It far exceeded my expectations. This anvil is solid, well made, and it will provide years of use. I can't see ever having to replace it. I did have to do some dressing and a slight amount of clean up. A lot of people say the first thing that needs to come off is the paint. I saved that for another day and started using my anvil, and I have been very pleased.
