    Not what I expected
    3 Stars
    Not what I expected
    I own what I assume is an older version of this product and wanted to replace some of the worn pieces. When I saw the new product the differences were apparent immediately. You can review my pictures and make your own conclusion. I am changing my review to 3 stars in order to remain as neutral as the Amazon system will allow, neither good nor bad, you need to decide for yourself.UPDATE: I edited my review and removed any remarks that might be construed as disparaging to the manufacturer. Two separate phone calls to the manufacturer have verified that this is their product. Also, the photos of the product I received are mine and have not been modified. The product has been retained unopened, rather than sending it back to Amazon for a refund as intended, so that I will have physical proof of my uploaded photos. I'll consider it $20.00 in education on product quality.
