Why You Might Consider Alternatives

While the experience seems overwhelmingly positive, here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Unusual Buying Situation: Be aware that one review mentions a "slightly unusual buying situation." I don't have details on what that means but worth considering.
• No Storefront Indicated: While not specifically mentioned in the reviews, the reference to Facebook Marketplace suggests the buying process may be conducted primarily online, perhaps requiring a meet-up for pickup. This may not suit all shoppers.
