hmmThe basket didn't crack untill 1 month,surround was uneven in one corner the day I got it. The glue on that part starting coming off after 4 months more and more.also surround was never ripped, just not enough glue in one spot.
So you saw the flaw immediately (which no manufacturing process is 100% perfect, things happen), and rather than turn it in under warranty then.....you waited 4+ months?? That's your own fault.surround was uneven in one corner the day I got it.
