United Statesafraid to use it
this item arrived yesterday, after i ordered it 2 months ago. when it was opened by my wife, I was shocked to see how small and delicate it was. if I would have known the actual size, or seen a picture of someone holding it, I'm not sure I would have paid over $300 for this item. I probably should have read the dimensions to see how small it was. I must say it is very nice but just too small and delicate to even think about using it. AC
