I sent a pair out to Vacuum Orna-Metal. They came back a couple of weeks ago. Both pieces have what appears to be dust in the finish. I sent an email regarding the issue. I didn't receive an answer, so I ended up sending another email . I'm waiting for a call tag now.
 Cost was $85 each plus return shipping of $35.  With my initial shipping, I have $216.50 in them.
I'll wait to see how well they do with correcting the problem. So far, not overly impressed.

Loren , That don't sound good .  As hard as it is to find a good set a guy sure hates to send these back and forth risking them getting damaged .
Sure wish Chrome tech was still around , the set i sent them turned out awesome and were half that price .
Hope they resolve this for you .
