First, let me say that even though I found this particular model disappointing, I'm still considering trying another of their files. The aesthetic problem I had with this column is that it matches the picture, which I seem not to have looked at closely enough. The top and bottom pieces look very nice, but for the middle one the vertical part of the column isn't uniform in thickness. (Especially noticable is the curvy narrowing in the top third.) The mechanical problem I had was with the notches/pegs to align/hold together the three pieces. I love the idea, but the sizing seems to be off, as I cannot get the pieces to sit against each other. (The bottom piece will go in about halfway, but the top barely at all.) I'm giving it a rating halfway between good and bad because I can file off the pegs and glue the pieces together, and because I suspect "perfectly straight horizontals" is something non-commercial 3d printers don't do well.
