[Nhcoll-l] Vitrine Seam Failure

[Peter A Rauch]

Heidi,
Distinguishing between those which failed and those which haven't (yet), it

Are they of recent or old manufacture?
One supplier/manufacturer, or several?
Large, or small?
Settled on perfectly plane (not necessarily level) stands, bases, tables,
floors, ...?
