The dull finish with no luster is nowhere near the product ...

I've purchased Ultimate Black Backer and Mirror Chrome spray cans hoping to achieve a chrome or somewhat chrome looking finish.
I lightly sanded down and cleaned the plastic parts with alcohol then strictly followed manufacturer's directions applying few light coats of Black Backer with 20-30 min in between. Left the parts to dry overnight. Next day I applied first thin layer of a "Mirror Chrome", followed by couple of thin layers allowing each layer to dry for 15-20 min.
On the 4th day (fully cured paint) I tried to polish it using cotton cloth with no luck at all.
The finished product as you can see looks appalling to say the least. The dull finish with no luster is nowhere near the product as being advertised.
Don't waste your money on overpriced junk, get a can of silver spray can from Canadian Tire to get better results.
Very disappointed.

The finishes on this are terrible. The underside shows that the vinyl is barely held on. Mounts snapped off when trying to install. Didn't even bother trying to return, considered it a $23 mistake. Will continue to cruise junkyards for a replacement.

I was hoping to add a little sparkle to my shower. However, in real life that curtain looks cheap (no more than $2) and dull - the pebbles are not really sparkling and the area between the pebbles is not clear like on the picture but frosty/cloudy, creating the impression that the curtain is covered in soap and needs to be washed. This is far different from the seller's picture. I grew so pissed off that I started a return - dishonest sellers misrepresenting the product should not get away with it!

I am a loyal Amazon customer and this is no reflection on them, but this is the dullest most useless piece of s*** that I have ever tried to use.

The finish can only be cleaned with a soft sponge. The finish comes off with the slightest effort

Product finish is of very poor quality. Edges around carved handles and top edges of  tray not sanded at all, very rough

I generally don't review products unless they fall well short of my expectations. This one does.
I own several condor knives and they have been durable, well made, useful tools at very reasonable
prices.  This knife is the opposite of that description. Out of the box I could see that the grind on the
blade showed deep,tool marks and imperfections including pits in the steel.  I spent several hours with
a coarse diamond hone, sandpaper, and a polishing wheel to try to remove the imperfections, without
a lot of success. Same thing with the blade edges and tip which were dull to say the least. The grip was
small in my hand and does not look durable. Time will tell how this knife performs.  One redeeming
quality was that the sheath was very nice.  I should have sent it back for a refund but wanted to see what could
be done with it.  Compared to other Condor knives in quality, this one is lacking.

awful. The color is dull with no rich color and the sharpness looks almost out of focus.  Watching this season on the flat-screen TV is difficult to view because of the focus issue. On the old monitor-style TV, it's improved, but still not very good. Chalk that up to poor re-mastering, if it was even performed at all. I have seen better reproduction on old VHS tapes.  Seasons 1-9 did not have this re-mastering problem.  Why does season 10?  Very disappointed.  Also, the new dvd packaging that started being used in season 9 is once again used in season 10.  Cheap!! It will not protect the dvd's for the long term from scratches. This is not a comment about the show's review, just the quality of the product and packaging. No excuse why the consistency is lacking with season 10 re-mastering production, when season's 1 through 9 did not have this issue.

This product looks very nice, but that's about all the positive feedback I have for it.  It doesn't lock positively, resulting in the cutting head not staying a constant distance from the guide.  The knobs and microadjustment barrel are difficult to grip and even when turned tightly fail to hold the entire apparatus firmly.  The nylon tension screw seems to be purely decorative as it fails to make any difference in the holding ability of the cutting head rod.  There is nothing (except for the nice look) that is functional.
Thanks to this product I am much more appreciative of a sharpened screw head in a block of wood for scribing lines a set distance from the edge of my stock.
I would not recommend this product to anyone.

In fairness, I will begin by saying that I did not realize I was ordering a microfiber product.  I have already established from past purchases that I do not care for it, and had I known, I would not have ordered this product.  Interestingly, I did not know it was microfiber until I reviewed the product page prior to this review.  I only knew I didn't like it?  Why?  The color is a dull version of Navy that inspires not.  The fabric is not objectionable to the touch, but neither is it inviting.  The color and fabric together give this duvet cover an aura akin to a 10-year old Corolla - does the job, but is nothing special to look at and never was.  My comforter is king-sized and so is this product, but the duvet cover is much larger.  Like wobbly skin around the neck and chin, it is rarely our point of focus; but when we notice it, there is no getting around the fact that it just ain't pretty.  I respectfully suggest you pass on this item.

The polished brass finish that Yale has choosen for this product does not come anywhere close to any other polished brass product on the market.  It does not match any brand lockset to go with it nor does it match any brass light fixures or anything else.  Someone dropped the ball in production on this one.  Maybe polished brass is something else in China.

Not metallic gold as described, the finish looks nothing like the post

There is really nothing positive to say about this sharpener...useless instructions, no parts, unbalanced wheel, difficult to put together & crude design.  Manually intensive to sharpen chain teeth.  The only good thing is the price but in this case, "you get what you pay for" ... not much better than manually sharpening chains.

I would give 4 stars but the finish is so poor that I can not.

The case is a nice case and coupled with my glass screen protector should work as well as a case I paid over twice as much for. My issue comes from the fact that the product is not what is advertised. The case has no wood whatsoever ever in it. It has a wood printed design on the back that from several feet away looks nice. Up close while it is in your hand, it looks cheap and cartoonish. I ordered the black rosewood and it is not dark at all as depicted. Overall I am unsatisfied with the finish of the product given how it was advertised. We will see how it fairs over the long haul.

I knew it was going to be dull but come on. This thing has a completely flat face on the blade. Was easy to sharpen but why not at least put a little bit of an edge on it?? I'm also not impressed with the finish and burrs on the pry bar end. This particular hawk should have NEVER made it out of the factory. Not even close to worth the money! Buy a CRKT Kangee or Chogan they are MUCH higher quality and cheaper!!

The wood received no polish sanding, so out of the box it is extremely rough, and there is no trace of the promised oil finish. Should not bear the Calphalon mark.
