    1 Star
    Poor quality control and customer response.
    I ordered 3 of these. 2 are fine but one arrived with significant damage. No replacement lid available after 2 warranty call attempts and I’m not willing to go through the return process to get a new one. Don’t order this if you expect it to look good out of the box.
