quality control  lacking

nice product for the price but I have to return 2 out of 3 lanterns, as one is dented and the other, the door closure is not right. The glass was intact. Still want another two but they need to be checked before they are shipped.

1 of the Pairing Knives was missing, so mine was a 15-piece, and not a 16-piece.  Requested a replacement set, and all pieces included were there.  Already washed mine, so I just pulled what I needed and the replacement set is going back.  Minus 2 stars because it was irritating, and I read an earlier review where the same thing occurred.  Poor quality control.

Knives look  nice and feel solid.  Really sharp out of the box, but I won't know how well they hold up for a while.  For now, I'm sticking with my 3-star assessment.

Nice design but the first one I received was broken and second one I got was dirty. Seller send a third one but it's dirty and the lid on one side keeps getting undone when opened. I think it's just poor quality control.

Some of them arrived crooked and wobble a bit! Still used them. The manufacturer could have tighter tolerance and quality control!.

Quality control is lacking.  At least a dozen consecutive pages were missing and further on another set of pages were duplicated. Im giving it three stars, instead of one, because the planner itself looks like it will be helpful. Im ordering it again and hope there are no problems with the next one.

This product would be great if the quality control was better. I received a roll in which about 1/3 of the total length was ruined - 1 big section and then throughout the rest of it there were inconsistencies which look terrible. I had already started cutting and using it before I unrolled it to the ruined sections so I couldn't return it. If you need long, continuous length as I needed, I would suggest unrolling the entire thing to inspect before cutting into it, but if you are dicing it up into small sections for say, napkin rings, you will probably be fine. Because of the waste, I had to purchase a 2nd roll to complete my project when 1 roll should have sufficed. The 2nd roll wasn't without flaws but not nearly as terrible as the first roll. I had purchased 3 other rolls in a narrower size from this same company previously and those were all fine. Just seems the wider it is, the more issues there were (at least with the ones I purchased).  For the price, it was still worth it I would say since local stores couldn't even begin to compete at that price. Just be aware you may need to order more than you think! I'm attaching close-up photos to demonstrate the quality issues I'm referring to as well as photos of the project I used this for (dessert table risers for my wedding).

The chairs we received were decent, but lacking any paperwork inside the box, including no instructions. The bags of screws and other hardware were there, but we had to guess where the different length screws went. Additionally, a number of drywall-style screws were included to tighten the lower rungs of the legs, but upon snugging them up, two cracked the rungs. Their quality control is definitely lacking.

Well-constructed and nice looking table, but quality control leaves a lot to be desired.  Had to shore up the metal to marble fasteners and leveling it so the marble would not wobble.

Still like it for the cost.

One of the 2 small candle holders is missing 5 of the faux diamonds. It's not worth paying to ship it back to possibly get a new one with all the parts and hope it arrives before the wedding. I guess I'm heading to Michaels to try and find some little faux diamonds that will fit and fix it myself. Would never buy from here again. Very poor quality control.

Product arrived in great packaging, so the chipped wood must have happened before shipping. I'm not satisfied with the quality control, or lack thereof. There was also stain on the glass, but that's less of a big deal since I could just take a razor blade to scratch it off. Still, it just looks sloppy.
Additionally, the product picture advertises the clips as metal, but they are in fact plastic.

The frames feel pretty sturdy and the hardware is decent quality. However, the quality control leaves something to be desired. One frame arrived with silver paint on a corner and the other had poor paint coverage around the screw holes. You can see this in the images. Amazon resolved the issue immediately but I would have prefered to just receive a product that I could immediately put on my car.

Quality Control seems to be problematic with these. Mine came with a permanently tilted dial, forcing the user to tilt it for a good read. This one went back and the seller (Kira Sea) refunded promptly (kind of like they knew there was a problem with the product).
  A fully defect- less version of this item would have been worthy of 4 star. The thing is heavy! But in the end, defect- less; it gets the job done and is easy on the wallet.

Hayward really needs to work on quality control. There was a nub of plastic left, presumably from the mold, that I had to saw off before the two pieces would sit flush. You'll need a drill to get the screws in as there are no threads in the post and Hayward provides 18 self-tapping screws. I wasn't too pleased with the quality of the screws as they kept stripping out. Overall the skimmer is decent, but I feel that the QC issues for this skimmer make this a 3 out of 5. I would not recommend this product.

Item looks striking, but quality control leaves much to be desired.  I had to send this back due to defects with the support poles and connections to the top half of the lamp - support poles wouldn't event connect correctly.  I REALLY dread doing this because it was a pain in the butt to unpack and try and put together and made a huge mess all over my office floor (despite every attempt to unpackage in the box).  Here's hoping attempt #2 is better than the first.  If it's not, I'm cutting my losses.

I love the table top & legs.  However, three holes are required to fasten each leg to the table.  For two of the legs the third hole was missing and for the other two legs the third hole was in the wrong place.  I had to have a friend come over with his drill and finish the assembly for  me.  Very poor quality control.  But then again, it was made in China so at least the top and legs are better than I would have expected.

Light output is uniform with good color.  Lost two stars for quality control. The bulbs are made of two major pieces, the lower shell which has the LEDs and screws into a standard socket, and a translucent cover that snaps over the top. With my  package of eight, received in an undamaged box, there were 3 bulbs with lens covers popped off.  After fighing them to get the covers on, which wasn't easy, I installed them in a 14' ceiling, where I found two were dead; one of fixed bulbs, and one of the un-damaged ones. 5 major flaws in 8 products is pretty poor quality control.

 Called Amazon customer service and got a full replacement without shipping back the working and non-working bulbs.  Replacements all worked fine, but still, I will probably not buy other bulbs from Phillips.

Poor quality control on my unit.  I will update my review when I receive my second unit.  The back connector had the upper left buckle sewn in upside down.  I will be checking this over very well as it is going to be holding a >$3000 rig and thus far has not instilled much faith.  This quality control snafu rendered the glide straps (65 bucks a piece) unable to connect and completely negating the purpose for purchasing this.  Custom SLR, get a hold of your quality control.  I'm sure its a fluke, but if this happens twice I will be sure to write another poor review.  If it is a fluke I will update my review to reflect the potential quality which I can not honestly comment on at this point.

Update:  Got my second unit and it is flawless.  Combined with the straps it works perfectly.
