my guess is yours look like what your wife wanted, wheres the amazon one would have looked like utter shit (also the quality), and nothing like the pictures on the site. so well done man.

also highly questionable origins and who knows what kind of conditions the assembly workers went through

On top of all that you had a nice weekend working on a hobby you enjoy. Can't put a price tag on that.

It's always the size.

My Mrs has bought heaps of stuff from Amazon only to find it's about a quarter the size she expected.
