" ... As I was putting it together, one leg snapped and the other one was not as tight and wobbled. ... Cheaply made and poorly designed. ... "
" ... I am so disappointed in this product I have the large one and is wonderful I had to put the legs on this and the screws are stripped it is just awful not taking the time to return it ! ... "
" ... They never seemed secure enough. ... "
" ... After further look, we determined the coating inside was scratched, it appeared plastic had melted to the bottom of the unit, and the screws to hold the handles were not included. ... "
" ... This thing fell apart . ... "
" ... The screw holes were too short inside for 2 of the screws and the other two had issues with the threading. ... The screws hold the frame up so without strong support the skillet could not be used as it would be a hazard. ... "
" ... Smelled the smell of burning plastic. ... "
" ... Missing screws very disappointed ... "
