The issue with the feet, aside from the poor paint job to start with, is they were shipped "sandwiched" together and it's clear they spent the entire trip rubbing against one another. (Note the feet are steel, not wood.)
Even then, I am amazed a manufacturer wouldn't even spray paint the feet (or spray them well) let alone spend a few bucks to have them powder coated or the paint baked on; a local body shop could turn those out easily.
I will definitely call them Monday. FWIW, the 244s seem to be in much better shape, but around back once again it is loose strings from the fabric material galore.
They do
work wonderfully, but I may return them anyway as aesthetically (at least compared to ATS), they are definitely
not what I would expect for the money.
Granted, this is the side of the 244 that would be against the wall, but still.
