I have over the years purchased 9 sets of brass window poles and associated attachment's, from a quality point of view they are excellent.
However I have one grievance other than the poles themselves the paint is never finished off, for instance the Finials are never completely sprayed with the last 4cms left as bare metal, this is not in itself a problem but if the poles need joining the joiner is always half sprayed and if it is centred correctly there is always a piece of bare metal showing.
Surely it is not cost saving it must be quicker to spray the 12cms of pole joiner making it far mor versatile as I have to keep having to try and match the paint which is virtually impossible.
