I did a ton of research and this anvil gave the best bang for your buck. Mind you, this is not the cast iron model so be sure to select the correct one. Delivered on time without even a dent in the packaging. As for quality, perfect size for the amateur, good rebound and a nice ping to it. Included a blade about 6""x2"" (without tang) for size reference. Definitely worth the $$ and no regrets on this purchase. Might add some magnets or chain to deaden the noise for the neighbors sanity. Hope this helps.
