Even the contractor mentioned the high quality, saying "it's like a piece of furniture!" Which being solid oak, is essentially the case. He was a bit irritated by having to deal with the fact that it's not skirted to the floor, which meant he had to redo a flooring section and bore through the 3/4" solid wood base to run the stack pipe up and then out through the wall. He did mention that it's got a bit of a "bump" in the center front, in the wood, but that's probably because it took so long to GET a contractor that it sat around in the garage for far too long. Would highly recommend.
