K - yes, there are very clearly better anvils in the world. There are also better trucks than my 7.3L F250, but ya know what? Works. Works juuust fine every time. This anvil is the same way. Find a better anvil for the price - heck find a meaningfully better one for 1.5x the price. You won't. Top surface on the 66lb is hardened, flat, &smooth, bottom structure is solid, nice ring, great for a novice wannabe blacksmith for heatin' and beatin'.
