This was not good timing for quality control to let their guard down. It must be terribly frustrating to wait for such a special piece only to find out it has problems. Even if your piece made it to your house okay, will it be subject to breakage in the future even with normal handling?

Harbour Lights is trying to do the right thing by offering replacements. Often time the aggravation of returning an item and waiting for a replacement will leave a less than desireable taste in one's mouth about future HL's.

The Cheboygan Crib piece is indeed a rare piece. It would behoove anyone who has this piece to have it replaced while they can. Otherwise, you may be whistling Dixie a year from now if you don't.
